"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today
To allow this evil to forever decay
The people represented by my associates and I
Will present you with facts you won't dare deny
The guilty defendant might look harmlessly shy
Or even so kind-hearted he'll make you want to cry
But have no mistakes, this man I accuse
Of worshiping Satan, murder and abuse"
"The prosecution has done an excellent job
Had all of you been a prehistoric mob
I'd like to remind you, much to their regret
That my client was not found guilty as of yet!
He's being accused merely for the mistake
Of not sharing the beliefs of the prosecution's sake
So let me remind our dear prosecution
The commandments, common sense, and our constitution"
"You will be under oath, so might I advise be wear
The whole truth and nothing but it, do you swear?"
"Ok, whatever, although this is quite odd
So help me the deceiver. Oops...I mean God"
"You've heard with your own ears the defendant's disrespect
To our God and religion, am I not correct?"
"Believing in God is acceptable, not at all absurd
But to choose not to is still legal, last time I've
heard!"
"The defendant has admitted, Satan is in his heart!
Will you let justice and purity just fall apart?!"
"But blood drinking, man sacrificing, all else that's
sickeningly odd
What does that go to do with not liking God?
My client prefers to believe in what he chose!
Regardless to all the fuss this arose!
Abuse, sacrificing, you have no proof...
Thus your theory based on rumors simply goes poof!"
"Your honor, it is known to every decent man
Satanism is an evil we need to ban!"
"You speak so much, my friend, of crimes and confessions
But what did my client do to support your obsession?
No proof of blood drinking, or murder or abuse
Not even light dope, not selling nor use!
This man is being sentenced for his different views
For that you make him suffer, it's you who's guilty of
abuse!"
"Yes, I'm a Satanist, and in Satan I trust
I believe in self indulgence by joy and by lust
But never would I hurt another living soul
Unless it tries to deprive of life or of all!
Satan allows us to be humans again!
For ourselves, not for God, to be kind and humane
We protect ourselves with magick which breaks no law nor
rule
I object to God's hegemony, feel free to over-rule"
"After seriously thinking this matter through
I know I want nothing to do with you
Your ways are repulsive and are not worth a dime
But unfortunately for us all, they are not a crime
This man has hurt no one and has done nothing bad
He only finds different ways to refrain from feeling sad
God, I miss them days when his kind were burnt
I find you not guilty, all rise, court adjourned" |
