Deck me out in fiery colours:
Gold and red and yellow too.
Feed me well with times and places;
Your memories I'll take from you.

Taking memories if metaphorical could mean the sinking of Númenor.
In contrast to the colours, the first line is pretty much just there to fill space and make an observation about the colours.

I don't think it's giving too much away to say that the answer is a class of people, places, or things, and the colours are three specific examples.
