[Verse 1]
Don't look back, the time has come
All the pain turns into love
We're not submissive, we're not aggressive
But they think we can't defend
[Chorus]
STAND UP, JOIN US, MODERN CRUSADERS ALIVE
We have the power to face the future
'Cause we are the fighters
Just fighting for our rights
[Verse 2]
They're accusing, like always without knowing
What is just fiction or what is the truth
They have no mission, they have no passion
But they dare to tell us what's bad and what's good!
[Chorus]
STAND UP, JOIN US, MODERN CRUSADERS ALIVE
We are the power who'll face the future
'Cause we are the fighters
Just fighting for our rights
[Bridge]
Est affectus
Et defectus
Semper in angaria
Quod per sortem
Sternit fortem
Mecum omnes plangite!
Nunc obdurat
Et tunc curat
Ludo mentis aciem
Egestatem
Potestatem
[Chorus]
STAND UP, JOIN US, MODERN CRUSADERS ALIVE
We are the power who'll face the future
'Cause we are the fighters
Just fighting for our rights
[Outro]
STAND UP, JOIN US, MODERN CRUSADERS ALIVE
