I would not want to lie, I swear by my speech,
But I can trade my life in exchange of pride.
If cheats ruled and truth was made to beseech,
I would have implored rather to have lied.
Undaunted cheaters shout aloud, their quote
I toil hard to amplify my damped voice
Some day mankind, of me, will take note
And join my murmurs to rebel that noise
At each turn of road I meet a demon
That tempts me into its palace of sin
Given to the wish of reaching heaven
My soul fights, outer vice and wants within
If known that truth kills, I will not then lie
I rather walk this path, with pride, and die!
