Description
At 5:30 last night (Thursday) I had just finished the music for this. I looked out the widow and noticed smoke rising over this mini mountain that separates Spokane's South Hill & Spokane Valley. I turned on the news and sure enough there was a out of control fire. The winds where extremely high with gusts at 47 MPH. The fire spread very rapidly since it is a forested area. There was a massive mandatory evacuation in a 2 mile square area. 13 homes went up in flames in a matter of a few hours. Most of these homes are custom designs and big!
So I wrote the lyrics and laid down the vocals last night as well.
The fire seems to be under control now. The photo is a shot of this fire.

• Fire •
you can see the smoke
you can see the flames
the hills are burning once again
smoke gets in your eyes
where you're rushing in
collecting your life
fire rages in
you can smell the smoke
you can feel the heat
running thru ashes that litter the street
firemen rushing in
low to the ground
planes overhead
sending water down
ch:
fire burns the hearts
fire burns out souls
all the displaced people no where to go
this can never happen in my hometown
at night you see a glow
on the burned out ridge
everything is taken
closer to the edge
you can see the devil
a smokey image
hanging over the valley
burnt out below
everybody out
house is burning down
fires fueled by winds
charing the ground
ch:
fire burns the hearts
fire burns out souls
all the displaced people no where to go
this can never happen in my hometown
you can see the smoke
you can see the flames
the hills are burning once again
smoke gets in your eyes
where you're rushing in
collecting your life
fire rages in
you can smell the smoke
you can feel the heat
running thru ashes that litter the street
firemen rushing in
low to the ground
planes overhead
sending water down
ch:
fire burns the hearts
fire burns out souls
all the displaced people no where to go
this can never happen in my hometown
at night you see a glow
on the burned out ridge
everything is taken
closer to the edge
you can see the devil
a smokey image
hanging over the valley
burnt out below
everybody out
house is burning down
fires fueled by winds
charing the ground
ch:
fire burns the hearts
fire burns out souls
all the displaced people no where to go
this can never happen in my hometown

First off, I'm glad to hear the fire is under control. Then the song - a great track, sad and powerful, expressing the power and might of fire, and giving it a lovely personal touch that is both effective, and sad. I love the guitars on this (especially the lead into the solo, and then the lead itself - magnificent), and the vocals are excellent, eloquent and expressive. A great song. Sorry it was inspired by something so tragic. Be safe, man. Peace.
