[Verse 1: David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, & Both]

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

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

The woman's flames are reaching higher

We were fools, we called her a liar

All I hear

Is, "Burn!"

[Verse 2: David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, & Both]

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!"

[Bridge: Glenn Hughes]

You know we had no time

We could not even try

You know we had no time

[Guitar Solo: Ritchie Blackmore]

[Bridge: Glenn Hughes]

You know we had no time

We could not even try

You know we had no time

[Keyboard Solo]

[Verse 3: David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, & Both]

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!"
