      G
The sky is red, I don't understand;
 F/G
past midnight I still see the land.
 G
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
  C                                       G
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's ablaze, the town's on fire;
     F/G
the woman's flames are reachin' higher.
 G
We were fools, we called her "liar";
A#  F  C        G   D# C G
All I hear is "Burn!"

I 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!"
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shaking, we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared
Still I hear "Burn!"

Chorus:
Dm                  A#
You know we had no time,
                   Am A#
we could not even try,
                    Dm
You know we had no time.

The sky is red, I don't understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are saying the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shaking, we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared
Still I hear "Burn!"
