- When men first lived like fools in caves -- I was there to fill their graves. The day they first invented fire, ten score of souls did feel my ire! I hated man who sought salvation! I tricked them into sweet damnation! I've always hated peace and love! I've naught but hate for the Lord above! In God's sweet love men can rejoice -- but I ne'er heard His blessed voice speak out and offer me the choice, to drink His blessed wine... For that's my place within His game, to be cast out and get the blame, for all these acts of mortal shame... You know what I say? FINE.
