Modern Crusaders
Ending Animation
The animation starts with the camera climbing a pillar decorated with statues of the Stands encountered in chronological order by Team Bucciarati, starting with Rolling Stone on the ground. The pillar itself features statues of Black Sabbath, Soft Machine, Kraft Work, Little Feet, Man in the Mirror, Mister President, Beach Boy, The Grateful Dead, Baby Face, White Album, Clash and Talking Head, and with four arrows.
There is a time between statues and the camera passes by a stone ladybug. Close to the top there are statues of Purple Haze, Moody Blues, Aerosmith, Sticky Fingers, and King Crimson, (this two in a position of fight against each other). Under King Crimson's right arm Sex Pistols number 7, 3 and 6 and above King Crimson's right arm number 5, 2, 1 and Gold Experience at the top of the pillar posing in the center of a bas-relief resembling rays of light.
During the entire sequence, the scenery is plunged in a colored ambient lighting that constantly shifts color and flakes of severy forms constantly fall from above. The frame is also flanked by two sets of tessellated triangles.
Lyrics
| Don't look back, the time has come All the pain turns into love We're not submissive, we're not aggressive But they think we can't defend | |
| STAND UP, JOIN US, MODERN CRUSADERS ALIVE We have the power to face the future 'Cause we are the fighters Just fighting for our rights | |
| They're accusing, like always without knowing What is just fiction or what is the truth They have no mission, they have no passion But they dare to tell us what's bad and what's good! | |
| STAND UP, JOIN US, MODERN CRUSADERS ALIVE We have the power to face the future 'Cause we are the fighters Just fighting for our rights | |
| est affectus et defectus semper in angaria. |
driven on and weighted down, always enslaved. |
| quod per sortem sternit fortem, mecum omnes plangite! |
since Fate strikes down the strong, everyone weep with me! |
| nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludo mentis aciem, egestatem, potestatem mecum omnes plangite! |
first oppresses and then soothes playing with mental clarity; poverty and power everyone weep with me! |
| STAND UP, JOIN US, MODERN CRUSADERS ALIVE We have the power to face the future 'Cause we are the fighters, just fighting for our rights STAND UP, JOIN US, MODERN CRUSADERS ALIVE | |
