about

"Unleash the fire" is yet another one of those apocalyptic visions of a sad future, very much in the vein of "Atavistic dreams". Human compassion is a concept I care very deeply about, and this song, as many others, deals with the the loss of it.
It's a song I was really excited about when I first introduced the demo to the guys in "Indigo". We even practiced it a few times, but somehow we never played it live. I can't say what the reasons for abandoning it were, since I always liked it a lot. I think it's a fairly classic Utopia Now song. So I hope you will appreciate it more than my former bandmates.

lyrics

- Unleash the fire -

My lungs burn like fire as I'm running so fast
from this expanding, fatal shadow.
When the sun goes down on this world
there's nothing left to keep us warm.
Like love, like hearty communion,
something to show we're one family.
The fire eye gets close to the horizon,
can anybody stop it now?

My eyes burn like acid as I'm trying to find
the light through toxic haze of progress.
When it has devoured the sun
there's nothing left to keep us warm.
Like good deeds and a snow-white conscience,
and strength unleashed by a common goal.
That portentous veil will cut this world's engine.
Can anybody stop it now?

Light a match, create a glaring spark.
Let a beacon of awakening conquer the human dark.
But so few still know that there's a sleeping volcano in us,
unleash the fire.

My all time favourite band. They stick to a simple formula their whole career and have mastered it in such an un parralelled fashion. Awesome people when I met them in Newcastle, Australia in 2010 as well. All hail the punk kings deehall666
