Lyrics
The countryside was cold and still There were three crosses on the hill Each one wore a burning hood To hide too rotten core of the wood And I cried Father, I hear an iron sound Hey, hoof beats on the frozen ground Down the hills the riders came Lord, it was a crying shame To see the blood upon their whips To hear the snarling of their lips And I cried Mother, I feel a stabbing pain Hey, blood flows down like a summer’s rain Summer’s rain Each one wore a mask of white To hide his cruel face from sight Each one sucked the hungry breath Out of the empty lungs of death And I cried Sister, Hey sister, raise my bloody head Hey, it's so lonesome to be dead He who rides with the Klan Is a devil, and not a man For underneath his white disguise I have looked into his eyes And I cried Brother, stand by me It's not too easy to be free Brother, Sister Hey Mother, Hey Father Stand by me Hey, it's not too easy to be free
