Eh. Sadly I don't think that's the case. The lyrics he sang this time, although you can't really tell what the lyrics were before, are different. They'd have to be because he's singing slower than he was screaming before. EDIT: Astat beat me to this point
And don't get me wrong, I love songs with singing. I actually think Fire will be one of my favorite songs off the album. It's just disappointing cause vocally the song sounded great before, why change it?
