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.

“... his voice and hands,
Within whose warm spring rain of loving care
Each dwells some twenty seconds. Now, dear child,
What’s wrong, the deep American voice demands,
And, scarcely pausing, goes into a prayer
Directing God about this eye, that knee.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

Their only monument the asphalt road
And a thousand lost golf balls.””

And flames laid waste our world,
All that was left me was a little garden
And thou within it, my beloved, my comrade.”
