Stretch out in your Christ pose
Marionette of lost hope
Your sadness
At the expense of the world
You're dying to be this
You're living to be this
Energy wasted
On feeling sorry for ourselves
We didn't deserve it
We didn't deserve it
Like using a thousand apologies
As a thousand excuses for
Making the same mistakes
Crusader of hopelessness
Crucified by yourself
What do you know about suffering?
So full of reasons not to see
The possibilities to change
This suffocation
And turn it into focus
'Cause we don't need this
'Cause we don't need this
Forget about your self-pity
Forget about your petty problems
Forget about your small world
The lyrics CRUSADER OF HOPELESSNESS of REFUSED is also present in the album Songs to fan the flames of discontent (1995)
Refused è una storica band svedese di hardcore punk originaria di Umeå, formatasi nel 1991. Il gruppo ha pubblicato cinque EP e tre album prima dello scioglimento avvenuto nel 1998. Il loro capolavoro, *The Shape of Punk to Come*, è stato inserito al numero 13 nella lista dei 50 Album Più Importanti di Sempre di Kerrang!. La band è nota per il suo sound aggressivo e politico, influenzato dal hardcore punk, dall'anarchismo e dalla musica noise. *The Shape of Punk to Come* è considerato un album fondamentale del genere post-hardcore, anticipando sonorità che avrebbero caratterizzato gruppi successivi come At the Drive-In e The Dillinger Escape Plan. Dopo lo scioglimento, i membri di Refused hanno collaborato con altri progetti musicali, ma nel 2012 la band si è riunita per un tour mondiale. Nel 2015 hanno pubblicato il loro quarto album in studio, *Freedom*, che ha riscosso grande successo di critica e pubblico.
