Story Behind The Song
Fighting with someone who will not bend, when it feels like trying to melt a rock.
Song Description
Inner turmoil and major disagreement seen as a metaphor of a raging forest fire. The singer describes the fire/her feelings of frustration and being burned up. The answer is finally found when the forest/the feelings are all burnt away, then there is peace in being all alone...

Lyrics
Raging trees in colors cry,
Seething crimson in the sky.
Deep within the forest gold
Wage a war that melts a stone.
(It's) like fire, fire sears. Like fire,
Fire's here. Wild fire.
Fire in steel, fight fire,
Fire within...
Far afield the changes call
Burn the earth and seeds and all
Deep within the forest cold
Wage a war and shift a stone
(It's) like fire...
Deep within the heart alone
Wage a war to shift a stone.
Deep within the heart is shown
precious peace to be your own.
(It's) like fire...
