Wildfire Songtext
von Mandolin Orange

Brave men fall with a battlecry
Tears fill the eyes of their loved ones and their brothers in arms
And so it went for Joseph Warren
It should have been different, it could have been easy
His rank could′ve saved him but a country unborn needs bravery
And it spread like wildfire


From the ashes grew sweet liberty
Like the seeds of the pines when the forest burns
They open up to grow and burn again
And it should've been different, it could have been easy
But too much money rolled in to ever end slavery
And the cry for war spread like wildfire

Civil war came and civil war went
Brother fought brother, the south was spent
But its true demise was hatred passed down through the years
And it should have been different, it could have been easy
But pride has a way of holding too firm to history
Then it burns like wildfire


I was born a southern son
In a small southern town where the rebels run wild
They beat their chests and they swear "we′re gonna rise again"
And it should have been different, it could have been easy
The day that old Warren died, hate should've gone with him
But here we are caught in a wildfire
