Out of the Inferno and Into the Fire

Two demons escape their fate From swimming in the fiery lake They'd grown tired of the heated pool Needing to dip their toes into something cool So it was out of flesh and bone They made for themselves a sailing boat Without a word they bade hell leave Sailing off to humanities sea They sailed by and it's just as well Dante's nine circles of hell They found nothing funny along the way But to Dante himself they both did wave When their boat broke the surface They both grew rather nervous The first thing they saw was a fiery ball Thinking they'd made a u-turn and were both back home But the atmosphere was way to cool The shrugging demons never knew Not owning any winter gear Not sure they were going to like it here They headed out in search of some Good old fashion satanic fun When what happened to catch their demonic eyes But the Sodom and Gomorrah of todays city life They both felt at home, they fit right in To the debauchery and rampant sin The only difference with these human fools Is not a one of them has a clue All the while thinking they are free Tied up tight onto Satan's leash Paying the ever so heavy cost Of a man who is...but doesn't know he's lost The demons had seen all this before That's why they got so easily bored Yes, this they'd seen and done it all So they placed a person to person call The boys both had to really dance When it comes to Satan there's no second chance So after six hundred and sixty six days They got back in their boat and sailed away
