In Rain of a Thousand Flames, destruction by the forces of Akron is the main theme. All the songs, which are performed in a very harsh, sometimes even non-melodic way, describe the acts of demons. A rain of fire pours down on the army of the Ice Warrior, the Queen of the Dark Horizons is resurrected, and blood rites are performed, announcing the arrival of thousands of demons. The towns of Elnor and Thorald are destroyed, and King Eric of Elnor is killed in the fight. This album focuses primarily on the evil of Akron, and the Ice Warrior plays no part in it, so it is considered a stop-gap in the story.

Famous quotes containing the words rain, thousand and/or flames:
“The rain to the wind said,
“You push and I’ll pelt.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“It is no part of the functions of the National Government to find employment for the people, and if we were to appropriate a hundred millions for his purpose, we should only be taxing 40 millions of people to keep a few thousand employed.”

“I am haunted by numberless islands, many a Danaan shore,
Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more;
Soon far from the rose and the lily and fret of the flames would we be,
Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
