Lyrics

This crusade is a charade
Nothing more and nothing less
An empty promise that was made - a guarantee of sure success
But as it starts to crack and fade the scarlet knight is left depressed
This crusade is a charade
Nothing more and nothing less
You base your whole existence on a falsely pre-determined quest
Bound to lose the game however much you play your very best
A tireless insistence is a turn off to the rest of them
Who don't see it the same and aren't ready for the real test
This crusade is a charade
Nothing more and nothing less
An empty promise that was made - a guarantee of sure success
But as it starts to crack and fade the scarlet knight is left depressed
This crusade is a charade
Nothing more and nothing less
To think the king would love you if you brought him home the holy grail
The irony's you never really fit into that suit of chainmail
Suffering on the battlefield for nothing but a tall tale
To never have a say in how you win it all or how you fail
This crusade is a charade
Lost along the broken trail
Nothing but a masquerade as the ship was setting sail
How can one not understand you never get to catch the whale?
This crusade is a charade
A burden and a rusty jail cell
This crusade is a charade
Nothing more and nothing less
An empty promise that was made – a guarantee of sure success
Any time you want to finally lay it down man be my guest
This crusade is a charade
I'm exhausted I confess
The sun is setting in the west
Oh you think you're cursed but you're really blessed
This crusade is a charade
Nothing more nothing less
