Magnum - Burning River Lyrics






Sky turned crimson, wild desire
Witches scream your name
On their bloody carousel
Soon to play their game
And your fire will be turned to ice
All your horses returned to mice
By a killer lagoon
On the night of the wayward moon

Never try to cross that burning river
It won't get you satisfied
Never try to cross that burning river
There's nothing on the other side
No one to show you and no one to hear
No one to see when you cry
Never try to cross that burning river
Swimming up against the tide

Walking on that scarlet trail
Haunted angels tread
Shrouded by a veil of tears
Many prayers were said
But the magic will disappear
If you visit this dark frontier
And be almost consumed
On the night of the wayward moon

Never try to cross that burning river
It won't get you satisfied
Never try to cross that burning river
There's nothing on the other side
No one to show you and no one to hear
No one to see when you cry
Never try to cross that burning river
Swimming up against the tide

And did you know they call you the window man
Looking on as the world goes by
But if you knew the thoughts of a clever man
You would ride on the wings of a blue sky

Never try to cross that burning river
It won't get you satisfied
Never try to cross that burning river
There's nothing on the other side
No one to show you and no one to hear
No one to see when you cry
Never try to cross that burning river
Swimming up against the tide

No one to show you and no one to hear
No one to see when you cry
Never try to cross that burning river
Swimming up against the tide

    Magnum Lyrics
    "Burning River"

    Sky turned crimson, wild desire
    Witches scream your name
    On their bloody carousel
    Soon to play their game
    And your fire will be turned to ice
    All your horses returned to mice
    By a killer lagoon
    On the night of the wayward moon

    Never try to cross that burning river
    It won't get you satisfied
    Never try to cross that burning river
    There's nothing on the other side
    No one to show you and no one to hear
    No one to see when you cry
    Never try to cross that burning river
    Swimming up against the tide

    Walking on that scarlet trail
    Haunted angels tread
    Shrouded by a veil of tears
    Many prayers were said
    But the magic will disappear
    If you visit this dark frontier
    And be almost consumed
    On the night of the wayward moon

    Never try to cross that burning river
    It won't get you satisfied
    Never try to cross that burning river
    There's nothing on the other side
    No one to show you and no one to hear
    No one to see when you cry
    Never try to cross that burning river
    Swimming up against the tide

    And did you know they call you the window man
    Looking on as the world goes by
    But if you knew the thoughts of a clever man
    You would ride on the wings of a blue sky

    Never try to cross that burning river
    It won't get you satisfied
    Never try to cross that burning river
    There's nothing on the other side
    No one to show you and no one to hear
    No one to see when you cry
    Never try to cross that burning river
    Swimming up against the tide

    No one to show you and no one to hear
    No one to see when you cry
    Never try to cross that burning river
    Swimming up against the tide
