Burn Lyrics by King Diamond (Band)

The Eye

1990

[Verse 1]
The inquisition will take her to the hill
Ready for the kill, giving God His will
Everybody's there, none of them will care
Not a single prayer
[Chorus]
Burn in the night
You're the Devil's child
Burn in the night
You're the Devil's child
[Verse 2]
Looking at the sky, soon the girl will die
Nobody will cry, hear her screaming, "Why?"
The priests are all in line, now they give the sign
Let the fire shine
[Chorus]
Burn in the night
You're the Devil's child
Burn in the night
You're the Devil's child
[Post-Chorus]
They say the Devil is here tonight
Then let him play his violin so wild
[Bridge 1]
Higher, burning higher
Flames will soon devour
Higher, burning higher
The smell of skin turned sour
[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]
[Bridge 2]
Higher, burning higher
Her legs are scorched by fire
Ashes to ashes
I see a smile on their wicked faces
[Guitar Solo: Pete Blakk]
[Chorus]
Burn in the night
You're the Devil's child
Burn in the night
You're the Devil's child
[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]
[Verse 3]
Lightning from the sky, magic's coming by
As her necklace flies right into her eye
The priests are all in line, now they give the sign
Let the fire die
[Outro]
Burned in the night
There are no remains
Burned in the night
Just a magic chain
