Concept
Children of Fire tells a post-apocalyptic story set in the aftermath of the battle between God and Satan.[7] At the end of the previous album, Son of the Morning, God severed Satan's horns; as Children of Fire begins, Satan's horns have fallen to the ground, and both God and Satan vanish. Humanity is left believing that God and Satan are both dead; thus, now there is no fear of Hell or reward of Heaven.
Children of Fire focuses on two characters - a devout Christian father whose faith unravels after believing God and Satan have died, and his daughter, who begins the album as an atheist. The daughter is left searching for answers after witnessing the battle between two figures she never believed in, and eventually speaks to a group of believers who answer her questions and lead her to believe that God is neither dead nor as violent as she thought. At the end of the album, Earth is destroyed, but the daughter finds solace in her newfound faith and knows she will be fulfilled in Heaven.
Historical tracks
Oh, Sleeper wrote two songs that are based on past murders. The fourth track, "Hush Yael," narrates the story of Samir Kuntar and the murders that he committed at the age of 16. The sixth track, "Dealers of Fame," is a first-person narrative telling of the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs, who are infamous for their leaked online video that depicts their torture of an elderly man in a forest.
