tell me little girl, what they've done to you
i can see it in your eyes
tell me little boy, what have you been through
i can see you're empty inside
 [bad word] there's just no forgivin'
for the way they've done you wrong
does he see up high when they give in
in the name of the father and the son
 [bad word] now their
heart's hollow. soul in sorrow
eyes cold and innocence stolen
they are the children of the cross
love taken. god forsaken
failed by the one they relied on
they are the children of the cross

so tell me little girl what they've done to you
i can feel you're empty inside.
and tell me little boy, what have you've been through
i can see the distance in your eyes
 [bad word] there's just no forgivin'
for the way they've done you wrong
does he see up high when they give in
in the name of the father and the son
 [bad word] now their
heart's hollow. soul in sorrow
eyes cold and innocence stolen
they are the children of the cross
love taken. god forsaken
failed by the one they relied on
they are the children of the cross
