Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where there's no night, there's only day
Look into the book of life, and you will see
That there's a land, far far away
That there's a land, far far away
The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords
Sit upon His throne and He rules us all
Look into the book of life, and you will see
That He rules us all
That He rules us all
The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords
Sit upon His throne and He rules us all
Look into the book of life, and you will see
That He rules us all
That He rules us all
There is a land, far far away
Where there's no night, there's only day
Look into the book of life, and you will see
That there's a land, far far away
That there's a land, far far away

The song "Fire" by Aswad has a strong religious connotation with a message of hope and longing for a better place. The lyrics suggest that there is a land far away where there is no night, only day. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for eternal life or paradise. The book of life is also mentioned, which could be a reference to the Bible or other religious texts, emphasizing the religious theme of the song. The line "The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, sit upon his throne and he rules us all," is a direct reference to Jesus Christ, who is considered the King of Kings and Lord of Lords in Christianity.
The repetition of the lyrics, "Look into the book of life, and you will see, that He rules us all," further enforces the religious connotation and emphasizes the idea of an all-powerful God. The final words of the song, "Satta Massagana, Ahamlack, Ulaghize" are in Amharic, which is an Ethiopian language. The phrase translates to "give thanks" or "praise be to God," which further emphasizes the theme of religion and gratitude.
