Dressed in ermine  
a murderer from the beginning 
not holding to the truth 
for there is no truth in him 
lies are  his native tongue 
 the father of lies 
prowls around like a roaring lion  
looking for someone to devour 

the invisible ruler of the world 
up and down,  
to and fro the earth around,  
seeking to destroy the souls of men 

The world is his farm 
and its people are his plowmen 
a Lying Spirit in the mouth of all his Prophets 

The ancient serpent 
Throws no stones 
the angel of the abyss 
who holds the power of death 
The dragon 
Fell like lightning from heaven 
morning star 
Son of the Dawn 
He does as he may care 

The fallen angel 
Brought death to the world 
Flaming arrows 
From The prince of the power of the air 
the destroyer 
The ruler of the abyss 
His finest trick is convince you that he does not exist 

The adversary 
the accuser 
The tempter 

The demonic trinity 
Then cometh the Wicked one 
Prince of Demons 
sons of Belial 
The god of this world 

 His original nature was Darkness 
His smoke has made its way into the Temple of God through some crack 
 the cause of illness 
humanity's three enemies 
Death the world and self 

the prince of darkness 
I saw him fall  

prince of this world 
He’ll make you a deal 
Give him his due 
JustSpeak his name and he is sure to appear to you 
He looks after his own 
An empty mind  
And idle hands 

Better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven 

The devil may care 
The flames of hell never bothered him 
And walked away 
A smile on his face 
He is crouching with his arms held up 
he has only four fingers and toes 
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires 
Your enemy the 
the evil one 
Witches flying on broomsticks 
Sexual rites in the forest 
Murder human infants 
Devoured in ceremony 
Demons 
Fever leprosy arthritis 

a distant land of no return, 
a house of dust where the dead dwell 
a sealed fortress, 
seven gates, 
barred against invasion or escape 
the pit 
the grave 
death 

where both soul and body are destroyed 
unquenchable fire 
Serpents, brood of vipers 
corpses of criminals 
Worms bred and fed in the smoke filled filth 
cast out into outer darkness 
the darkness 
flames continuously burn and rain from the sky 
rivers of molten metal flow freely 
heretics are locked in flaming tombs 

Weeping And Gnashing Of Teeth 
Place Of No Rest 
fiery lake of burning sulfur 
lake of fire 
Chamber of Tongue Ripping, 
The Chamber of Scissors, 
The Chamber of Iron Cycads, 
the Chamber of Mirror, 
Chamber of Steamer, 
Forest of Copper Column, 
Mountain of Knives, 
the Hill of Ice, 
Cauldron of Boiling Oil 

Chamber of Ox, 
Chamber of Rock, 
Chamber of Pounding, 
Town of Suicide, 
Chamber of Dismemberment, 
Mountain of Flames, 
Yard of Stone Mill, 
Chamber of Saw   
Pool of Blood, 

It's better to rule Hell than serve in Heaven
