Deep Purple - Burn Lyrics






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!"

    Lyrics:

    The sky is red, I dont 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 citys a blaze, the towns on fire.
    The womans flames are reaching higher.
    We were fools, we called her liar.
    All I hear is burn!

    I didnt believe she was devils sperm.
    She said, curse you all, youll never learn!
    When I leave theres 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 dont 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!

    I've been listening to a lot of Purple lately, and I've come to a realization/revelation about them...and it this: they were truly the most insane 70s hard rock band of em all. By a long shot. Seriously. Ok Ian Paice seems like a steady bloke but the rest of em...Ritchie Blackmore? That dude could strum an open E chord and it would sound like a major city going up in riotous flames of vengeance. Jon Lord-one minute he decides that a little classical etude is just what this hard rock song needs, no, wait, ok, let's light this bloody organ on fire and record it wailing tortured death throes...ok then back to those sprightly arpeggios, right! Ian Gillian what the F**k! Just a wildman...he even sounds like David Coverdale on this song! Roger Glover? Dude plays bass ok? No sane human has ever picked up a bass and remained sane...which would explain why so many of the best bassists were English. So there you have it- the most insane virtuosos from a land noted for it's insanity- music, literature, Inter-City Firms, high tea, dark satanic mills etc. They were the maddest of em all. The Sun Never Sets MOTHERF***ERS!!

  6. T.... s....

    Ritchie blackmore is the Rock-Mozart of our lifetime!!!!

  7. T.... K....

    ...who agrees on this: from 02.49 minutes on...it reminds me of Italian Vivaldi.... :-).

    T.... K....

    It reminds me of Passacaglia by Haendel

    T.... K....

    it sounds more like tocotta and fugue in d minor around like 2-3 minutes in if you have the ear you’ll hear the arpeggios

    T.... K....

    Wow a circle of fifths progression, must be hugely important and influential baroque music and not an ubiquitous part of neo-"classical" guitar music /s

    The DP Burn album has something special i can't explain very well. Although i really love all the Purple's albums, i would tend to say this album is my favorite. And i find that there is a pure alchemy between Glenn and David's voices. Jon Lord is a genius, as usual.

    And people seriously ask my why I prefer old classics like this one even though I'm fairly young. Well I don't fit the norm so they are astounded by this fact
    Lol people seem to be unknowing of the fact that they have a choice in life and that there are no directions or guidelines to live by
    To each their own
    Cheers !

    Coverdale was a great temporary replacement for Gillan, although ofc no one can be as good as Gillan but he did a great job regardless

    m.... c....

    Leonard Gheorghe idk where you got that from 😂 gillan doesn’t need purple his solo career was great and he also did a great job on sabbath, but he CHOSE to go back to purple cause he really fits in the band perfectly

    m.... c....

    @maiden chick Ian Gillan Band and Born Again. None of them as famous as what he did in D. P. On the other hand, Coverdale is a much more powerful, lyric, complex and versatile voice. Listen Whitesnake and you'll have plenty examples. I agree with you D. P. is better with Gillan but as a voice in it self, Coverdale has no match.

    m.... c....

    hold my beer!

    @Leonard Gheorghe

    REALLY?

    Maybe you just need to step back farther:

    At that time DC was not just a temporary replacement. Both of them are great, no need for stupid compare ;)

    For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries (Heb. 10:26-27). He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” (Jhn. 3:36).
