Burn Lyrics by Whitesnake

The Purple Album

2015

[Verse 1 - David Coverdale]
The sky is red, I don't understand
It's past midnight, I still see the land
People are saying the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand

[Verse 2 - David Coverdale]
The city's ablaze, the town's on fire
Woman's flames are reaching higher
We were fools, we called her a liar

[Chorus - Coverdale, Beach, Hoekstra]
All I hear
"Burn!"

[Verse 3 - David Coverdale]
They 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!"

[Verse 4 - David Coverdale]
Warning came and no one cared
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared
When it came, no one was spared

[Chorus - Coverdale, Beach, Hoekstra]
Still, I hear
"Burn!"

[Bridge - Coverdale, Beach, Hoekstra]
You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time

[Lead: Beach]
[Lead: Hoekstra]

[Bridge - Coverdale, Beach, Hoekstra]
You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time

[Verse 1 - David Coverdale]
The sky is red, I don't understand
It's past midnight, I still see the land
People are saying the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand

[Verse 4 - David Coverdale]
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared
When it came, no one was spared

[Chorus - Coverdale, Beach, Hoekstra]
Still, I hear
"Burn!"
