Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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"
[Verse 3]
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 says, "Burn"
[Verse 4]
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared
Still I hear, "Burn"
[Bridge]
You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time
[Bridge]
You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared
Still I hear, "Burn"
