Red Sun Burns - The Levellers

She took the world up

She was higher than the sky

She didn’t have a need

She didn’t really want for anyone

He didn’t ask for any of this

She painted in the dark

Truth turned into light

But men came in the night

To set her world alight

She didn’t ask for any of this

But the red sun burns

Brighter in the night

Red sun burns

Can make you feel all right

But everywhere you go

There’s still not enough

For everyone

They left her in the ash

Tears lay in her eyes

She swore no one would take

More than they could create

She didn’t ask for any of this

She took the world on

She was higher than the sun

She didn’t have a need

Didn’t really want for anyone

And she didn’t ask for any of this

But the red sun burns

Brighter in the night

Red sun burns

Can make you feel all right

But everywhere you go

Here’s still not enough

For everyone
