Burn the Red [The Handmaid's Tale Fan Song] lyrics

We wear red

Symbols of fertility

White bonnet

Stripped of our identity

Red

Like blood

Like a sinner

Like smoke

From an unseen fire

Under his eye

We are all but vessels

We don’t cry

Held down by human shackles

It’s red

Like a scream

Like anger

Like smoke

From an unseen fire

But I have another name

That doesn’t come from him

That doesn’t colour me red,

Red, red, red

I hold my other name

Like an amulet

One day I’ll wear it again

We didn’t see the flames

Till the forest fire

(Burn the red dress )

Once we were a flame

Now we’re a forest fire

(Burn the red dress )

Burn the red dress yeah

Burn the red

Burn the red dress yeah

Burn the red

Burn the red dress yeah

Burn the red

Burn the red

Burn it all

Praise be

We thank this blessed day

Unseen

Beaten, branded, raped

I’m red

Like anger

Like a warning

Like smoke

From an unseen fire

We have another name

That doesn’t come from him

That doesn’t colour us red

Red, red, red

And we whisper our names

Like thunder rising

Until it’s deafening

You didn’t see the flames

Till the forest fire

(Burn the red dress )

Once we were a flame

Now we’re a forest fire

(Burn the red dress )

You didn’t see the flames

Till the forest fire

(Burn the red dress )

Once we were a flame

Now we’re a forest fire

(Burn the red dress )

Burn the red dress yeah

Burn the red

Burn the red dress yeah

Burn the red

Burn the red dress yeah

Burn the red

Burn the red

Burn it all
