richie havens - the klan lyrics

Loading...

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 bl–dy 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
