Burn

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - David Coverdale] The sky is red, I don't understand It's past midnight, I still see the land People are saying the woman is damned She makes you burn with a wave of her hand [Verse 2 - David Coverdale] The city's ablaze, the town's on fire Woman's flames are reaching higher We were fools, we called her a liar [Chorus - Coverdale, Beach, Hoekstra] All I hear "Burn!" [Verse 3 - David Coverdale] They didn't believe she was the 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!" [Verse 4 - David Coverdale] Warning came and no one cared Earth was shakin', we stood and stared When it came, no one was spared [Chorus - Coverdale, Beach, Hoekstra] Still, I hear "Burn!" [Bridge - Coverdale, Beach, Hoekstra] You know we had no time We could not even try You know we had no time [Lead: Beach] [Lead: Hoekstra] [Bridge - Coverdale, Beach, Hoekstra] You know we had no time We could not even try You know we had no time [Verse 1 - David Coverdale] The sky is red, I don't understand It's past midnight, I still see the land People are saying the woman is damned She makes you burn with a wave of her hand [Verse 4 - David Coverdale] Warning came, no one cared Earth was shakin', we stood and stared When it came, no one was spared [Chorus - Coverdale, Beach, Hoekstra] Still, I hear "Burn!"
