Years thousand ( several-times ) time it-was Darkness Outer Hell ( name children Your of it-is ( they they-have-been-taught ) ) that-is children Your ( they-have-been-forgotten ) and I and we-lived-in now while. They they-are-taught ( they Here them for-them-to-be-burned eternally for to they-will-be-moved will Your they they-will-not-obey if ). Here fires they-are-located is-true someplace cold dark and Here fires without it-would-be because. Someone very-not-benevolent ( ones Your additional and ( for-them-to-will-be-forgotten soon ) and someone for-him-to-will-burn as ) I time some at I-am-not. Fires ones warm Us for-us-to-be for light place this ( God it-lacks ) and ( We we-live-in ( children Your ( for-them-to-be-forgotten ) and I and You you-sentenced not-fairly ) ) and in for and We we-need. ( Idea very-smart My and fires they-were is-true ) I I-thought. Name ( Lucifer ( One ( Light Here to He-moves ) ) ) You Me to you-gave, is-it-not-so!?

So now, and for the past several millennia, Your forgotten children and We have been living in Outer Darkness, or Hell, as so many of Your chosen children have been taught to call It. They are taught that they will be sent Here to burn for eternity if they do not obey Your will. Yes, there are fires Here. That's because without them it would be cold and dark Here. We would never be so cruel as to burn Your soon to be more forgotten ones. We need to fires to keep us warm and give us light in this Godforsaken place that You have unfairly sentenced Your forgotten children and Us to live in. We thought that the fires had actually been a pretty brilliant idea of Ours. Afterall, didn't You name Us Lucifer, "Bringer of Light"!?
