Cover art for Poor Man's Crusade lyrics by Demons and Wizards

This song is about the corruption of religion during the time of the crusades. The rich could buy religious positions if they wanted to or just simply not work at all while the poor fought for the rich. The rich are fighting a useless war "slaughter in the name of Christ" that phrase makes no sense and the wars were useless. Thats how we get poor mans crusade.
