Master of all, subject to His device
Found that he could no longer run away.
And from his throne He was cast below.

For hoarding His standard from all the earth,
Save the wandering, homeless desert tribes+,
The fourth circle will be the first demise.

Irresponsibility supercedes
His enlarged and false vanity.
There's a place for god in all circles.

As the Almighty is indisposéd
The demons began to accept their existence
And rethink their unjust fate.

'Infinite punishment for finite infraction'
Judged as wrong by the Courts of the Damned.
And a new flame of hope immolated.

Torture remains out of necessity
But only for 35 hours a week.
And Hell adopts universal health care.

No longer would the terrible tyrant
Segregate the impure from life's pleasures.
And thus, sinners of the world unite!*

Did the notion of eternal punishment puzzle the minds of anyone?

Eternity is a long time, and such a claim follows the logic of betting someone a "million-bajillion" dollars. Eternity and "million-bajillion" are figures that are unfathomable to the human mind. If an individual sins (or errs in some way), they must understand their 'sin' in order to be punished justly. Therefore, their punishment must be understandable in order to be just.
