"Burn"

The sky is red, I don't understand

Past midnight I still see the land

People are sayin' the woman is damned

She makes you burn with a wave of her hand

The city's ablaze, the town's on fire

The woman's flames are reaching higher

We were fools, we called her liar

All I hear is "Burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm

She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn

When I leave there's no return."

The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"

Warning came, no one cared

Earth was shakin', we stood and stared

When it came no one was spared

Still I hear "Burn!"

You know we had no time

We could not even try

You know we had no time

You know we had no time

We could not even try

You know we had no time

The sky is red, I don't understand

Past midnight I still see the land

People are sayin' the woman is damned

She makes you burn with a wave of her hand

Warning came, no one cared

Earth was shakin, we stood and stared

When it came no one was spared

Still I hear "Burn!"
