    I miss North Carolina. What a beautiful setting for this song that captures so clearly the central contradiction of American history. The Gyre structure corresponds so well to the historic content of each verse that it almost seems like it was made for the song, or the song for it. Anyway, all that aside--just a darn good song well done.

    "The Civil War came, the Civil War left, brother fought brother, the south was spent, but it's true demise was hatred passed down through the years. And it should've been different, it could've been easy, but pride has a way to hold on firm to history and it burned like wildfire."

    WILDFIRE
    Brave men fought with the battle cry
    Tears filled 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 have saved him
    But a country unborn needs bravery
    And it spread like wildfire
    [Chorus]
    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
    It should have been different
    It could have been easy
    But too much money rolled in to ever end slavery
    The cry for war spread like wildfire
    [Chorus]
    Wildfire
    Wildfire
    Civil War came, Civil War went
    Brother fought the brother, the South was spent
    But its true demise was hatred passed down through the years
    It should have been different
    It could have been easy
    But pride has a way of holding too firm to history
    And it burns like wildfire
