Fire On the Cross

They're looking for some hired guns on the Texas border
 To shoot 'em all down if they try to cross over the water
 And they've got their old white hoods and the same old orders
 To keep the dark sons away from their daughters
 The nights they came on horses
 Are long gone with the wind
 Now they're passing out the torches
 And they're coming back again
 There's a shotgun blast
 There's a secret sign
 It's not a candle burning and it's not a Sunday night
 There's a fire on the cross
 There's a fire on the cross tonight
 There wasn't any sound but it felt like sudden thunder
 Two boards nailed together and burning bright
 He was walking by the window when he saw it
 Now he wonders
 Just what he's got to do to make him see
 He just want to be brothers
 The nights they came on horses
 Are long gone with the wind
 Now they're passing out the torches
 And they're coming back again
 There's a shotgun blast
 There's a secret sign
 It's not a candle burning and it's not a Sunday night
 There's a fire on the cross
 There's a fire on the cross tonight
