Paul Rodgers (from Classic Rock Revisited January 12, 2001): "I had the chorus to that. It just popped into my head one day - The Sky Is Burning. I didn't know quite why the sky was burning and my soul was on fire. We needed material for the Burning Sky album. I was in a hotel in Paris the day before we were due to go into the sessions and I needed to write some songs. We had been on the road pretty heavily and we were pretty burned. I had the chorus and I worked the chords out for it. I worked out some verse chords. I went to the studio and I had them learn the chords but we had no lyrics at all. We counted it off and hit the button. We went into it, (singing) 'The sky is burning' and I wrote the lyrics on the spot. That was pretty amazing I thought. It was one take and I made the lyrics up as I went along."
