The lake of fire IS the second death. They inhabitants will be quite cognizant and in unceasing torture.

The only thing I agree with here is that the righteous will be as the angels. One cannot base immortal soul belief on the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. Not once is "soul" mentioned in the parable. Men have invented the idea the rich man soul was in Hell. It's not in the text.
