Time Crusaders (live Planetarium. Live At The Blackstump Festival - October 1st 1993) by Mortification
[Words and Music by Steve Rowe]
Time Crusaders
Time Crusaders, minstrels of ancient worship
Time Crusaders, tunes from the heart of God
The musicians lead the armies to war
Sounding the battle cry
Leading on to victory
Ancient times of scripture
Playing the strings of healing
Soothing the king's torment
The harp was David's sword
Piercing the pain of Saul
The red shield raised in the streets
Playing the music from the bars
Meeting men's desperate needs
Playing music to which they relate
Many have gone before us
Heeding the call to play
Totally relevant music
Meeting the need of the hour
The progress of eons has passed
We see that music lives on
God created all styles
Satan has only perverted
We are the bearers of news
Grinding the truth to your ears
Seeking new ways to destroy
The lies that live in your mind
William Booth's speech:
Many people like to sit
Within the sound of the church bell
But I'd rather run a rescue shop
Within a yard of Hell
Time Crusaders
