Song Meaning of “Moral Crusade” by Napalm Death
Moral Crusade tells the story of a society that is facing its own destruction, with the people blindly following rules and expectations despite the obvious implications to their own safety. It is a warning against blindly following the expectations of a group without understanding what is actually going on and the consequences of their actions. The chorus laments that “blind faith is taking its toll,” while the bridge proclaims that “blind faith is sullying our souls.”
The song calls on people to think for themselves and to stand up against the status quo if what is dictated by society is destroying those who blindly follow it. It questions why the majority of people fail to see the truth and the danger that they are in, and it begs them to wake up and take action. We can make our own moral decisions, rather than let others take control, and to prevent our own destruction.
