Fire On The Cross Lyrics
B. R. Hornsby/John HornsbyThey're looking for some hired guns on the Texas borderTo shoot 'em all down if they try to cross over the waterAnd they've got their old white hoods and the same old ordersTo keep the dark sons away from their daughtersThe nights they came on horsesAre long gone with the windNow they're passing out the torchesAnd they're coming back againThere's a shotgun blastThere's a secret signIt's not a candle burning and it's not a Sunday nightThere's a fire on the crossThere's a fire on the cross tonightThere wasn't any sound but it felt like sudden thunderTwo boards nailed together and burning brightHe was walking by the window when he saw itNow he wondersJust what he's got to do to make him seeHe just want to be brothersThe nights they came on horsesAre long gone with the windNow they're passing out the torchesAnd they're coming back againThere's a shotgun blastThere's a secret signIt's not a candle burning and it's not a Sunday nightThere's a fire on the crossThere's a fire on the cross tonight
