text: the band "him", do they have satanic lyrics?   well to start off, the bands name, if i'm not mistaking, means his infernal majesty, if you look at my sources dictionary.com states the meaning of infernal as "of or relating to a lower world of the dead."  so the name alone refers to the "majesty" or king of the "underworld".  that alone would lead you to believe it so, but it is all about how you interpret things, "wings of a butterfly" , a song by h.i.m. and a personaly favorite of mine, refers to sacrafices and rituals, and ripping the wings off of a butterfly as if to save a soul, and refers to many gods, which isn't quite christian, but theres constant talk of love and the bands symbol is the "heartogram" dare i mind you it resembols the symbol of "witchcraft", "satanism", "wicken" or what have you it is more or less a symbol of a heart, which can be taken as love or loyalty to the devil.  another aspect to concider is these guys are finnish (as in they are from finland) their culture is much different from america i imagine.  all in all i don't find their lyrics satanic or offencive, and personaly like h.i.m.  but you should read up on a couple songs and make your own judgement, i provided the partial lyrics to woab below and a link to its full lyrics, and you can search yahoo for the rest.  "wings of a butterfly" - h.i.m. heaven ablaze in our eyes  we're standing still in time  the blood on our hands is the wine we offer as sacrifice   [chorus] come on, and show them your love  rip out the wings of a butterfly for your soul, my love rip out the wings of a butterfly for your soul  this endless mercy mile  we're crawling side by side  with hell freezing over in our eyes  gods kneel before our crime  best of luck, brad d.
