Soaked in Mercury i whole heartedly agree with you on this interpretation. I particularly like this part:
Spark becomes a flame.
Flame becomes a fire.
Light the way or warm this.
Home we occupy.
Spark becomes a flame.
Flame becomes a fire.
Forge a blade to slay the stranger.
Take whatever we desire.
I believe the spark is human greed/selfishness, the desire to out do our fellow men. It starts off small, but as civilization increased, the spark turned into a flame, flame to fire, thus consuming our whole human race. What's the result of this consumption?
The result is what we have now, a society that continues to:
"Forge a blade to slay the stranger, take what we desire"
