I don't know how Disney can get much darker than this

That's overt evil. It's pretty terrible, but, if you listen to the lyrics in Hellfire it's about a much more powerful form of evil. It's about twisting belief in morality (God honestly, but it doesn't have to be viewed as such), of what is supposed to be a pious man, into a willful determination to commit an evil act to be viewed as redeemed.

Hellfire is about belief, faith and pride, not just disliking someone else. It's a song that actually grapples with the core of right and wrong and how those things can twist together when we don't understand.

It's an awesome song. And it is also a prayer, technically, that's the way its structured. That makes it all the more powerful.
