[Verse 1]
Crusader, crusader, please take me with you
The battle lies far to the east
Crusader, crusader, don't leave me alone
I want to ride out on your quest
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, to stand by your side
To fight with you over the sea
They're calling, they're calling, I have to be there
The holy land has to be free
[Chorus]
Fight the good fight, believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight with all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
[Verse 2]
We're marching, we're marching, to a land far from home
No one can say who'll return
For Christendom's sake, we'll take our revenge
On the pagans from out of the east
We Christians are coming, with swords held on high
United by faith and the cause
The Saracen heathen will soon taste our steel
Our standards will rise 'cross the land
[Chorus]
Fight the good fight, believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight with all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
[Verse 3]
To battle, to battle, the Saracen hordes
We follow the warrior king
Onward, ride onward, into the fight
We carry the sign of the cross
Warlords of England, Knights of the Realm
Spilling their blood in the sand
Crusader, crusader, the legend is born
The future will honour your deeds
[Chorus]
Fight the good fight, believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight with all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
[Guitar Solo]
(Come Crusader let battle commence)
[Chorus]
Fight the good fight, believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight with all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm

In England, there’s a paper called the Daily Express, and on the logo at the top of the paper, there’s a crusader, and there was a car made by Ford called a Cortina Crusader. That’s what started it off. We just liked the name “Crusader.” We didn’t have any connotations of what it meant as far as his...
