Fire Down Below Lyrics

Lyric discussion by MarcusH 

Cover art for Fire Down Below lyrics by Alkaline Trio

To me this song is just about death. It sounds like he's talking about life after death. There is no heaven (nothing but darkness up aboe) and down below the fire burns (Hell) he and his friends will be there in the end just waiting for you to join them. I've only heard it once and just read the lyrics, but life after death is what I get.
