Hey, you, won't you listen to me
I’ve got words that burn right through
If you are discontented
With the way the world is turnin'
Change is ridin' on a bullet
And we shot the gun
If you, you wanna make it better
You better get together
With the army of the Lord
We are the new crusade
We’ve been commissioned
By the Father as a holy brigade
We are the new crusade
A war of love
With a dove to lead the way
We are the new crusade
Listen well
And don't misunderstand this
Our war is not with man
But everything
That leads to his destruction
Will get an introduction
To the back of God's hand
We are the new crusade
We've been commissioned
By the Father as a holy brigade
We are the new crusade
A war of love
With a dove to lead the way
We are the new crusade
Tell me why
Must we be feelin' all the punches?
You gotta tell me why
(Tell me why) Oh, yeah
Why don't we throw a little somethin'
The fist of God is in the bass
We are the new crusade
(We are the new)
We've been commissioned
By the Father as a holy brigade
We are the new crusade
(Crusade)
A war of love
With a dove to lead the way
We are the new crusade
We are the new crusade
Won’t back down from the statements made
When everything is goin’ at its roughest
That is the time we're gonna show our stuff
This is the thing we have been made for
Initiating a loving war
Welcome the hour, the place, the day
Make way for the new crusade
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, whoo!)
We are the new crusade
(We are the new)
We’ve been commissioned
By the Father as a holy brigade
Oh, we are the new crusade
(Crusade)
A war of love
With a dove to lead the way
We are the new crusade
We are the love
We are the army of the Lord, hey!
Holy brigade, oh, yeah
We are the new crusade
Ba-da, ba, ba-da
