Called by the Fire Lyrics
The sky is clouded and grey
like a mirror
Dreams of celestial bliss
buried deep
An invisible web of whispers
spread out over dead-end streets
silently blessing the virtue of sleep
I'm still
Called by the fire
My spirit
Called by the fire
Yes, i'm still
Called by the fire
Called by the fire
Eternally
The flickering light
The heat of the flame
creates and devours
In my soul there is night
Every day I grow more immune
to social sedatives
Every day the web is more
transparent
United in fear and the comfort of reason
illusions that we are all peers
Walking the stairs I am ever more awake
The black cloud is beneath me
and I laugh
like a mirror
Dreams of celestial bliss
buried deep
An invisible web of whispers
spread out over dead-end streets
silently blessing the virtue of sleep
Called by the fire
My spirit
Called by the fire
Yes, i'm still
Called by the fire
Called by the fire
The heat of the flame
creates and devours
In my soul there is night
to social sedatives
Every day the web is more
transparent
United in fear and the comfort of reason
illusions that we are all peers
Walking the stairs I am ever more awake
and I laugh

This is Ihsahn saying he's still evil and basically explaining the perils of waking life as well as his ability to surpass any roadblocks created by society and its ideals.
like a lot of Emperor songs it's about the duality of humanity, and the fact that we fight our more basic, animal instincts.
Ultimatly I feel that the speaker loses his battle.
In thought, he grows ever distant/defiant of the norms in which we (society) choose to believe & engage ourselves in. Each day, the picture becomes more clear, and he continue to rise above the frivolity of it all. It's spiritual development.
