If there isn't light when no one sees
  Then how can I know what you might believe
  A story told that can't be real
  Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah
  
  Fade away, fade away
  Vanish into small
  Fade away, fade away
  Break the crystal ball
  Oh
  
  It's the sign
  Feels like the time
  
  On a small world, west of wonder
  Somewhere, nowhere all
  There's a rainbow that will shimmer
  When the summer falls
  
  If an echo doesn't answer
  When it hears a certain song
  Then the beast is free to wander
  But never is seen around
  
  And it's the sign of the southern cross
  It's the sign of the southern cross
  All right
  Sail away
  To the sign
  Ohh
  
  From the book the word is spoken
  Whispers from forgotten psalms
  Gather all around the young ones
  They will make us strong
  Reach above your dreams of pleasure
  Given life to those who died
  Look beyond your own horizons
  Sail the ship of signs
  
  And it's the sign of the southern cross
  It's the sign of the southern cross
  Fade away, fade away
  Break the crystal ball
  Fade away, fade away
  I can't accept it anymore
  
  Ohh
  On a real world, west of wonder
  Somewhere, nowhere all
  There's a rainbow, see it shimmer
  When the summer falls
  From the book the word is spoken
  Whispers from forgotten psalms
  Gather all around the young ones
  They will make us strong
  
  It's the sign of the southern cross
  It's the sign of the southern cross
  
  Don't live for pleasure
  Make life your treasure
  Fade away
  
  Eight miles high, about to fall
  And no one there to catch you
  Look for the sign, the time
  The sign of the southern cross, yeah
