Into The Fire Lyrics
Sent from home overseas
and into the unknown
barely landed in the jungle
sent on first patrol
Sundown darkness falls
dig in for the night
ambushed in the dawn they came
the jungle’s alive
I feel my fire starts to burn
the heat controlling my mind
berserk a savage running wild
within me the beast starts to roar
Now i’m ready to strike
a creature of the night
Into the fire
a flame of napalm strike
Sarge’s down i’m in charge
vc’s everywhere
overrun yet order airstrike
condemned us all to burn,
Napalm from above
burning friend and foe
chaos on the battlefield
the jungle’s on fire
This place it’s driving me insane
napalm it’s burning us all
this fight no man will live to tell
within me my blood starts to boil
From above the airstrike came
and it burned the world below
napalm falling from the sky
and it leaves no man alive
I feel my fire starts to burn
the heat controlling my mind
napalm it’s burning us alive
within me the beasts final roar
and into the unknown
barely landed in the jungle
sent on first patrol
dig in for the night
ambushed in the dawn they came
the jungle’s alive
the heat controlling my mind
berserk a savage running wild
within me the beast starts to roar
a creature of the night
Into the fire
a flame of napalm strike
vc’s everywhere
overrun yet order airstrike
condemned us all to burn,
burning friend and foe
chaos on the battlefield
the jungle’s on fire
napalm it’s burning us all
this fight no man will live to tell
within me my blood starts to boil
and it burned the world below
napalm falling from the sky
and it leaves no man alive
the heat controlling my mind
napalm it’s burning us alive
within me the beasts final roar

Seems to be about the napalm the US-Army used during the Vietnam War.
Indeed, it seems more like it's about a Broken Arrow call though, Broken Arrow was the code word for any available aircraft to assist in danger close airstrikes. Broken Arrow basically meant "Help us by bombing as close to us as possible", taking that into account, they accepted the possibility of friendly fire and ordinance being dropped upon friendly soldiers, even though it was something they tried not to do, it did happen, and i think this song is about a napalm strike in a Broken Arrow situation that hit too close and destroyed those who called it in....

I'd say it's about going berserk, when your faced with overwhelming odds. When you know that the end is inevitable, something within you snaps, and you just want to take as many of 'em bastards as you can with you.
Jungle, VC, Napalm it’s about Vietnam
In the Vietnam war, napalm was used extensively. It was effective at clearing large areas, and often with 100% fatalities. Often times it would fall on both allies and enemies, causing extensive casualties.
A popular fan interpretation of the song is about a US Marine, who, after being surrounded with his squad calls a napalm strike on his position.
