Modern History - Part Time

We searched the oceans twice

Searching months on end

Looking for my treasure

Reasons behind our sins

I was born in Bristol

In 1623

I’m searching for my fortune

In modern history

I’m living in a desert

My horse is all I need

We journey through the mountains

See sand beneath our feet

I never met my father

He left when I was three

I’m searching for the truth

In modern history

Modern history

Modern history

Modern history

We plundered through the cities

I killed the kings and queens

We shed the blood of tyrants

From Spain to Italy

Now I live in paintings

And books that you can read

Here I shall remain

In modern history
