about

„BURNING JUNE“ is a fast-paced melodic metal song that was actually written in 2013 for Chris Maragoth’s former band. After leaving the band the song sat in a drawer for years, but was reworked and finally recorded by Chris during the Covid19-lockdown in end of 2020 and early 2021.
The title „BURNING JUNE“ was originally only a work title but was kept because of its good sounding. It refers in particular to the month June in the year 2013 where the song was written. It was a really hot month in Germany with temperatures way above 35 degrees Celsius.
Despite it’s title origin story „BURNING JUNE“ is about a protagonist who did evil things in his life. God or a godlike entity (free for personal interpretation and depending on personal belief) is going to punish him now for his actions. A supernatural fire is coming to the protagonist to burn him alive, cleansing and freeing his soul. The protagonist knows there is no escape anymore as the flames are coming nearer and nearer and start to blind his eyes. He is accepting and welcoming his fate, seeing this fire as a possibility of repenting his sins.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fiery clouds are gathering in the sky.
(Fiery clouds are gathering in the sky)
Here it comes (the) relentless cleansing fire.
(There’s no escape)
I know it comes for me,
Cause I’m burdened with sins.
Consuming everything that’s in its way.
(Consuming everything that’s in its way)
A flame so hot and bright it blinds my eyes.
(No use to flee)
And here it comes for me,
Cause I’m burdened with sins.

[Refrain]
Burning June.
The punishment begins. (Begins)
Flames from above.
Repentance for my sins.

[Verse 2]
I'm not scared, 'cause I know, it will be over soon.
(I'm not scared, 'cause I know, it will be over soon)
Pain will end 'n my vile existence too.
(I will be cleansed)
And yes it comes for me,
Cause I’m burdened with sins.
Come, come to me. (To Me)
Take my soul.
Set me free and,
(Cleanse Me)
Deliver me
From presence of sin.
Let the cleansing begin.
FUCK

[Bridge]
Come to me.
Burn my skin. (Burn me)
I’m burdened with sins.
Take my soul.
And set me free. (cleanse me)
Let the cleansing begin.

[Refrain]
Burning June.
The punishment begins. (Begins)
Flames from above.
Repentance for my sins.
Burning June.
The punishment begins. (Begins)
Flames from above.
Repentance for my sins.

[Outro]
End my vile existence.
