"We, we don't have to worry bout nothing
'Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something
They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space
Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race"
This is the mysterious introduction. We don't know what is going on yet.
When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire, yeah we got the fire fire fire
Nobody is expecting this to happen (refer to line one of this stanza). They decide to become socialist (end of line 2, line 3). Goulding is also stating that she has the power (fire) to keep this under control.
And we gonna let it burn burn burn burn
We gonna let it burn burn burn burn
Gonna let it burn burn burn burn
We gonna let it burn burn burn burn
This is just saying that her group will watch the chaos with enjoyment, gaining strength from others' pain.
I think this is about a Tyranist uprising.

The rest is just repeated lines.
