The Last Crusade

The crusaders and their stooges

All you renegade rulers

All you spotlight fugitives

All you shakers, all you movers

All you cutthroat dealers

And you small-time users

All you turncoat schemers

All you victors, all you losers

You play the king and you play the pawn

You give up and you soldier on

This is the last crusade we're on

This is the last crusade we're on

There's a lighthouse on a battered shore

Gotta fight now, never mattered more

And the black tongues spitting poison

Spare no one

Gotta keep on, gotta keep on

Till the Ghosts of War come marching in

They've been reborn, they're free from sin

You play the king and you play the pawn

You give up and you soldier on

This is the last crusade we're on

This is the last crusade we're on

You play the king and you play the pawn

You give up and you soldier on

This is the last crusade we're on

This is the last crusade we're on

Now tell me, who do I look like to you?

Someone you thought you knew

Drinking wine in the afternoon

A rebel today is tomorrow's tycoon

Arm in arm, arm in arm

We are our father's sons and daughters, one by one

Marching off to kingdom come

And we're hunting down

We're trying to find

The architects of the wasted mind

And the way we laugh and the way we live

Brace for the aftermath

Something's got to give

You play the king and you play the pawn

You give up and you soldier on

This is the last crusade we're on

This is the last crusade we're on

You play the king and you play the pawn

You give up and you soldier on

This is the last crusade we're on

This is the last crusade we're on
