780. O temptation-serpent

```

O temptation-serpent,

Do you think you will be able to conquer me?

O temptation-serpent,

Do you think that I will surrender to you?

O temptation-serpent,

"Your transformation-day is nigh,"

Declares humanity's perfection-smile

In the heart of temptation-destruction-volcano. ```
