The Lyrics
This is just dark parody, so please do not read anything into it. Although humorous, some explanations needed about the biblical definitions listed. Most Christians sadly don't know Satan's origin, his abode, his class of angelic being, nor of the Underworld or the three Heavens. For sake of humor, I have Satan and the Fallen in Hell, but they actually reside in the Cosmos until Revelation when another battle casts them to the earth. Demons live on earth and plague mankind. They are the Nephilim offspring of Fallen angels and women in Gen 6. Satan is not omnipresent, omniscient, nor omnipotent. He only has power of influence through lies.
Halel* sings:
Oh, I am at home where the demons do roam**,
In the void where the Fallen*** do not pray,
Where never is heard a scripture of God's Word,
And the angels of Gen 6 are in chains****!
(Chorus)
Home, home in Hades*****
Where the souls of the dead seek The Grave******
Where screaming is heard and redemption absurd,
For they lived life in sin, now must pay!
The condemned must endure, the smoke and the heat
Between Paradise******* a great divide
A bewildering place where sins can't be erased,
Comes as a shock- a surprise!!!
High above this mess was the Kingdom I left
To which I will never return
It was the Third Heaven******** and I was lead Cherubim*********
For YHWH********** I did once yearn
A being of light, just as God, I was bright,
First created above all the stars
Perfect in beauty, strength, and mind,
But a slave... Ministering Spirit... led to war
Oh, I sought His power, His glory, His honor
Forged weapons to fight The Most High
Michael did I fight until I gave flight
Watched as this dirt being then came alive
In Eden had a chance, beguile the Serpent, fall of man
But with Christ's blood he is redeemed
So the battle rages on, for souls of lost ones
With a Second War in Heaven coming!!!
Now I would not exchange my home in Hades
Where I and my Fallen do reign
For victims I search all over the earth,
And Christians I just love to plague!
Oh, I am at home where the demons do roam**,
In the void where the Fallen*** do not pray,
Where never is heard a scripture of God's Word,
And the angels of Gen 6 are in chains****!
(Chorus)
Home, home in Hades*****
Where the souls of the dead seek The Grave******
Where screaming is heard and redemption absurd,
For they lived life in sin, now must pay!
The condemned must endure, the smoke and the heat
Between Paradise******* a great divide
A bewildering place where sins can't be erased,
Comes as a shock- a surprise!!!
High above this mess was the Kingdom I left
To which I will never return
It was the Third Heaven******** and I was lead Cherubim*********
For YHWH********** I did once yearn
A being of light, just as God, I was bright,
First created above all the stars
Perfect in beauty, strength, and mind,
But a slave... Ministering Spirit... led to war
Oh, I sought His power, His glory, His honor
Forged weapons to fight The Most High
Michael did I fight until I gave flight
Watched as this dirt being then came alive
In Eden had a chance, beguile the Serpent, fall of man
But with Christ's blood he is redeemed
So the battle rages on, for souls of lost ones
With a Second War in Heaven coming!!!
Now I would not exchange my home in Hades
Where I and my Fallen do reign
For victims I search all over the earth,
And Christians I just love to plague!
* Halel: Hebrew name of Lucifer (Latin). More than "Light bearer" it means "Brilliance of God."
** a ref to The Abyss where demons are trapped
*** the Fallen: the third of angels that defected with Helel
**** Tatarus, the prison house of angels, held in darkness
***** Hades is Hell, a temp holding place until the Great White Throne Judgement or Second Resurrection when the evil dead of all time plus Halel and the Third will be cast into the Lake of Fire for eternity
****** The Grave or Sheol is where the body goes upon death. For the Dead in Christ it is soul sleep until the trumpet of the Rapture. For sinners, the body goes there, but their spirit and soul get no rest
******* Paradise was the OT compartment opposite Hades where the ones who sometimes disobeyed were comforted until Christ came and preached the Gospel for 3 days in the midst of the earth. This compartment is now emptied
******** Third Heaven that sits above the Cosmos and upper atmosphere of earth
********* Cherubim, second holiest angel class after Seraphim near the throne. Halel was the " Guardian of God's Presence" and leader of worship before he fell
********** YHWH, the name of God translated in English as Jehovah

I probably wouldn't feel comfortable sending anything like this, but it's fine as far as parody writing
Interesting topic; Dante used it as a basis for his satire of 14th C Italian personalities, and to describe his lifelong infatuation with Beatrice. I know you don't like Wikipedia, but (article on 'Satan') it says, "Philosophers in medieval Judaism adhered to rational theology, rejecting belief in rebel or fallen angels, and viewing evil as abstract. The 'evil inclination' is a more common motif in rabbinical texts."
Thanks Ann and DGC(dec)! G-d help me! Hey, the Security Code is 3FU!!!
This is based on the state song of Kansas. The northeastern part of the state, especially Wyandotte County, is plagued with demonic influences. But the public keeps electing them.
By God that was one Devil of a parody! 5's
Thanks everyone!
