Dancing on this?

Move fast baby, don't be slow
Step aside, reload, time to go
I can't seem to control
All this rage that's inside me
Hold it fast, they've been dancing on this
Branded by fire on the abyss
Red hot temper, I just can't resist
All this vengeance inside me


I am not sure I understand what dancing on this mean? Dancing on the rage? And fire on the abyss? Does it mean fire that's burning on the abyss?
