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. The city's a blaze, the town's on fire. The woman's flames are reaching higher. We were fools, we called her liar. 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, we could not even try. You know we had no time. You know we had no time, we could not even try. 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!"

You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone. So hard to see you are taking your chances with me. If I find you with some other man you know what I'm gonna do. Better run if you see me comin', ah. Soon you will fall, making mistakes like before. When you tell me lies I can see by the look in your eyes. If you think you're gonna take me for granted, chasin' round with all you see, gonna make you live to regret it, ah. You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone. So clear to see you've had all your chances with me. You thought that you could take me for granted but I couldn't take it no more. Better run when you see me comin, ah.
