I view the line "The flame is gone but the fire remains" as such...
In Act I, the prologue states that a woman (Ms Terri) was led of into the flame of love. It also states that t"To death and life, as hand in hand." The woman lost one love and gained another. As far as the flame being gone and the fire remaining, just view the flame as a love flame and the fire as The Dear Hunter--a love child.
Now, here at the end of Act II, we hear that same line again with almost the same inflection. This leads me to anticipate a love child of his own with Ms Leading which, of course, would add a whole shit-ton of material to fill in four more albums.
