Talking to the Devil

He said to me: "Don't be a weakling,
Just feel the glory of the life!"
I answered: "It's a filthy feeling,
Unlike the evil tricky meanings -
My humble soul is what I strive"

He said: "Your soul don't have the power,
That gives the kings the right to rule!"
I answered: "In a deathly hour
The holy relics you devour
Will fall to dust. And that is true"

He shouted: "You are dumb and hopeless!"
His voice has pierced me to the core.
"We're not alike" - my reply word was,
And with this word I brought the coldness
Throughout the flames that burn for more.
