[Verse 1] We searched the oceans twice
Searching months on end
Looking for my treasure
Reasons behind our sins
I was born in Brazil
In 1623
I'm searching for my fortune
In modern history

[Verse 2] I'm living in a desert
My [?] is all I need

[?] different mountains
Still stepping in our feet
I never met my father
He left when I was three
I'm searching for the traitor
In modern history

[Chorus] Modern history
Modern history
Modern history

[Verse 3] 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

[Chorus] Modern history
Modern history
Modern history
