• Do not believe the excessive alchemist* who promises eternal life!
    Do not believe the ignorant believer* who promises salvation!

    And so we come to judge
    the past, present, and future,
    the spurious and honest,
    with valiance and cowardice,

    Do not let the alchemist corrupt our daisies*!
    Do not let the believer chain you in the false lilies'* blooms!

    In this field of wilted flowers,
    Few true roses shine bright,
    The rest ensnared by vicious vines,
    Even such malicious creatures
    Have their weaknesses.

    The alchemist and the believer forever conflict,
    The alchemist and the believer forever coexist.
