Lyrics

Bilingual
In the shadows of the night come the friends of fantasy
ย
Dancing forward toward the dawn, wrapped in coats of vanity
ย
In the closets, in the home hang the toasts of days gone by
ย
Breaking every haunted scheme, confusing thoughts with fantasy
ย
This is the modern world (this is the modern world)
This is the modern world
This is the modern world (this is the modern world)
ย
In the back rooms, where they wait, keeping time so patiently
ย
Playing cards and casting lots sit the last of judgment's toll
ย
In their confusion to deceive, they miss the point so handily
ย
Filling every secret need, they succeed perfectly
ย
This is the modern world (this is the modern world)
This is the modern world
ย
This is the modern world (this is the modern world)
