The sky is red, I don`t understand;

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.
Gm
We were fools, we called her "liar";
Bb F C Gm Eb C Gm
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.
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!"
