Happens all the time? Where, in the vicinity of bronze age oil rigs? You're going to have to do better to troll the text out of this one. The author took great pain to stress the fundamental upheavel of what he understood as otherwise immutable natural forces. Fire burning on water has nothing to do with petroleum, and everything to do with a call and response system common to this sort of literature. He's just taking the reader out of his own time and place - putting him in an unfamiliar world where up is down, black is white. He does this because in the very next verse (already quoted here) he plans on attempting to sell the audience a fucking whopper. It's good to punch em in the gut before you hit them in the face, if nothing else, their face is easier to reach.
Glad to see you're still thinking about the big bang. Is there anything else I can help you untie or have we reached the limits of your knowledge on the subject?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
