Great Fire, perhaps, but perhaps not Sacrificial
Bonfire.  You said it was context and I agree - I
think in the context of the biggest nightclub disaster
in 90 years, they could have toned down the
explosions; I don't think anyone would have batted an
eye at the song lyrics if they weren't accompanied by
ACTUAL FIRE on stage.
