Into the Fire
Savage Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too many battles I've seen, my hell never ending
So many dreams of good men they never shall dream
Life after life has gone by, without ever taking
The road to the meaning of what, of what it all means

So don't stand in our way. Die for our sins.
Cry for our souls
We choose our own fate. Answer to none.

Defy Them all
We'll dare to go
INTO THE FIRE. INTO THE FIRE.

We show no remorse for the deeds of death and destruction
The call that we heed, let us fight without fear
The glorious victories we won can not satisfy me
For I know the next day's attack just might be my last

Too many battles I've seen, my hell never ending
So many dreams of good men they never shall dream




The glorious victories we won can not satisfy me
For I know the next day's attack just might be my last

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Into the Fire" by Savage Grace seem to depict the internal struggle of a warrior who has gone through multiple battles and has seen too much violence and destruction. The first verse seems to convey the sense of a never-ending hell which he has lived in, as he has witnessed too many battles and been part of them. He also seems to lament the fact that good men are unable to pursue their dreams due to the pervasive violence and chaos that surrounds them. The second verse talks about the apparent futility of life, as the singer cannot seem to find the "meaning" of it all despite having lived through life after life.


The chorus contains a call to action for the listener to join the singer in his quest by venturing into the fire. The lyrics seem to aggressively assert that the singer is not afraid to fight, and he will not let anyone stand in his way. The subsequent lines seem to suggest that no-one else will decide the singer’s fate, and they will answer to none. The final lines of the chorus contain a call for defiance to inspire his fellow fighters to muster the bravery to join him.


Interestingly, the song seems to glorify violence and, in certain ways, acts as a call-to-arms for waging war by showing no remorse for the deeds of death and destruction. The singer cries out for more battles without fear, and even the victories seem to be meaningless in the grand scheme of things, apparent by the fact that the next day's attack just might be his last.
