General information

It's a Fire is the first track and single released from Recover, Vol. 1. The song was first released on Amy Lee's YouTube channel with an accompanying music video on October 27, 2015. The song was originally by Portishead, one of Amy's main influences when starting Evanescence.

Amy posted this statement on Facebook about how the song, and the album it was from, influenced her when she was a teenager:

This song (and all of Dummy, actually) was a huge inspiration to me in my formative years. I listened to the song recently for the first time in a long time, and fell in love with it all over again. The lyrics are so powerful, they helped me through so much. It is my honour to do this little homemade homage to a group I have loved so much for so long.

Lyrics

It's a fire
These dreams they pass me by
This salvation I desire
Keeps getting me down
'Cause we need to
Recognise mistakes
For time and again

So let it be known for what we believe in
I can see no reason for it to fail
'Cause this life is a farce
I can't breathe through this mask
Like a fool
So breathe on, sister breathe on

From this oneself
Testify or tell
It's fooling us now

So let it be known for what we believe in
I can see no reason for it to fail
'Cause this life is a farce
I can't breathe through this mask
Like a fool
So breathe on, little sister, breathe on
Oh so breathe on, little sister, like a fool
Oh so breathe on, little sister, like a fool

Sister
