This song is in no way looking for an absolute ultimate evil.
This song is another of meatloafs songs that seem to be bitter against the world. This is about people who feel a great injustice, who have painstaking memories and have (not by any fault of their own) lived a horrible life.
It suggests that they have commited sins to make up for the inadequacies they have suffered
"It's not enough to make the nightmares go away
It's not enough to make the tears run dry"
Meaning no matter how much they expel their anger on others, no matter how much sins / crimes they commit. The pain will be forever present, and youll only be looking for a bigger sin to commit, until you realise youve commited every sin possible and the pain is still there.
This is an excellent but bitter song, that basically says
