Lyric discussion by DesertHyena 

My theroy, I believe this song ties into the album (or part of it), some kind of disease or "fire" spreads across the planet and is started by aliens(or something). Burning for you is the beginning of a global catastrophe and time is a factor(meanwhile he is mourning). Then Veteran of the Psychic Wars is he's trying to stop the disease or fire (or aliens) and he can't stop it (the song seems to make references to war with aliens and Burnin for You is about no home left, no reason to fight, but livin to give the devil his due) Then in Sole Survivor he's the only one left from whatever happened and he's all alone. then in Heavy Metal maybe he contemplates life or something. He seeks revenge in Vengence (The Pact) or makes a promise of revenge against whatever happened or whoever caused it (maybe anti-government?) then after that, got me.

An error occured.
