Don Henley's "End of the Innocence".

Beating plowshares into swords

The Bible instructs us, in red letters, to do the opposite.

Did a search to look for some more obvious examples and found this article / blog on the subject. It is not well written since it bounces all over the place to different decades, but has a lot of interesting examples and information.

Bauhaus "Stigmata Martyr"

In a crucifixation ecstasy
Lying cross chequed in agony
Stigmata bleed continuously
Holes in head, hands, feet, and weep for me

Stigmata oh you sordid sight
Stigmata in your splintered plight
Look into your crimson orifice
In holy remembrance
In scarlet bliss

In nomine patri et filii et spiriti sanctum
In nomine patri et filii et spiriti sanctum
In nomine patri et filii et spiriti sanctum
In nomine patri et filii et spiriti sanctum
Father, son, and holy ghost
Stigmata Martyr

The Weight by The Band

Although the Nazareth mentioned is told to be the one in Pennsylvania, the song does reference Judgment Day and the devil.

"Muddy Jesus" by Ian Moore

"Judas said now Jeez I know you're prone to walk on water
If you swim downstream there's a better chance
That you'll make it across the border
Mother Mary said your time has come
For the river's wide but can be fought and won
For the very love of God and man
Jesus crossed the Rio Grande"
