"Crimson Cross" lyrics

Why do I keep coming back to crimson cross
When the witnesses have all been lost
When the stories contradict themselves
And the church has brought less heaven than hell
There's still something in the bell that rings
And there's nothing like the hope it brings

Why do I keep coming back to crimson cross
To the sacrifice and what it cost
For this world that argues white and black
Where it's tempting just to turn our back
On the pain and fear and hateful things
There's just nothing like the peace it brings

What if it's true
What if it's true
What if it's true

Why do I keep coming back to words he spoke
When so
Many think it's all a joke
Other paths that had dead ends
Where I lost myself and found false friends
In a world of greed and selfish things
In a world of pain and suffering
In a world of fear and hateful things
There's still nothing like the love he brings

What if it's true
What if it's true
What if it's true
True
