The song that explores the dark side of humanity through the persona of Satan. It's not a literal expression of sympathy for the devil, but rather a narrative that intertwines historical events with the idea that evil is a human capacity, not solely an external force. The song uses the devil's perspective to highlight humanity's capacity for both good and evil, suggesting that we are all complicit in the tragedies and atrocities throughout history.
