Après "Doomsday", "Hereafter" et "Royal Beggars", c'est "Modern Misery" qui a reçu une vidéo. Et mettre en avant un tel morceau est plutôt bienvenu puisque celui-ci s'éloigne un peu du ton général de l'album davantage porté sur le deuil. On y retrouve la force et l'universalité des textes de Sam Carter qui ne manqueront pas de rappeler pourquoi Holy Hell a très rapidement été considéré comme l'album de l'année pour de nombreux amateurs du genre.
Seven billion hungry ghosts / Just a parasite killing its host
The emperor wears no clothes / I see those brittle bones
But we’re buried by modern misery
There’s not enough water in the world to wash the blood from our hands
We planted a seed / Its roots will suffocate the soul
It grows without light and feeds from our bones
Hell must be empty / All the devils are here
Singing us the Lord’s Prayer
Finally, something that we all share
I won’t go to the grave with the song still in me
What are we hiding in the rain ? This is a prison for lost souls
Another life circles the drain / We used to run with the wolves
Now we can’t see the forest / ‘Cos there’s no light in the black hole
Don’t try and tell me we are blessed / We used to run with the wolves
Are these our new messiahs ? ‘Cos the saviour has a gun to my head
Don’t be fooled by Maya, the kings are all thieves / And the serpents will bite as they please
How has it come to this ?
I won’t go to the grave with the song still in me
And I won’t live like a slave begging from my knees
I will not live like a slave / I will not beg from my knees
I will not go to the grave / With the song still in me
We used to run with the wolves
