Crusade to Terra
Starseed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Combat is our life
Death the only true peace
The honorable will find, their end in the battlefield

The retake of Terra, is our goal, whatever force or bloodshed necessary
We′re crusaders among the darkness and alien stars

Glorious campaign to regain the inner Sphere
The dishonorable foe must be slain

Produced in the caste eugenic bred program, as elite battle-suited infantry
Soldiers, huge and physically strong, to handle Clan-developed battle armor

Sons and daughters of the blood legacy
Electronically stored, warrior codex, genetically copied
Possessed by grace, we could fight in any element
Air, water, fire, earth or even space

Fighting a war with even more combatants
Many lives are lost
Our only thought is our enemies defeat

There will be a time, when our descendants return to reclaim what is our right
With honor swelling their hearts, they will crusade against the dark

That shining jewel Terra awaits us as it was written
We must return, return and protect that, what is unique among the stars

Through the vastness of space we crusade
Trample all who stand in our way

Combat is our life
Death the only true peace
The honorable will find, their end in the battlefield

Sons and daughters of the blood legacy
Electronically stored, warrior codex, genetically copied




Possessed by grace, we could fight in any element
Air, water, fire, earth or even space

Overall Meaning

The song 'Crusade to Terra' by Starseed is a powerful and passionate ode to the military and their motivations.

The enemy is dishonorable and must be defeated.


The lyrics provide a glimpse into the lives of these soldiers who are bred in a caste eugenic program to become elite battle-suited infantry.

It becomes clear that fighting a war with so many combatants results in many lives lost, but their only thought is the defeat of their enemy, no matter the cost.
