Nicky Wire's Last - Nicky Wire

The furies are at home in the mirror, it is their address

Even the clearest water if deep enough can drown"

Hatred made a final stand

He felt some strength he made some plans

He looked at love the battle lost

Like the charge of the light brigade

Or a bitter twisted Thatcherite

This is my last crusade

No one is listening anyway

Speak in tongues and language lost

I found alchemy and I found trust

The grass has covered all the scars

A last crusade a last hurrah

From the bottom of your heart

You’ve had you say you’ve played your part

If only hate were generous

And not this mass of emptiness

This is my last crusade

To rid this land of hipocrisey

To lay down bare the miserable truth

Of vanity and greed inside you

This is my last crusade

The greatest thing I ever said

But crusades are doomed to fail

Leaving me all alone again
