The devil and a son

I'm sitting and watching the twisted autumn
take the trees' clothes off.
I'm listening to birds and just smoking,
and I want to sleep a little biit.
 
My head is falling and then I feel someone
slowly taking my hand.
A madman or a soldier, he stood there
like a weird mummery, I invited him in.
 
He was wearing a dirty coat and had a flute in his hand
his eyes looked as if he rose from the dead
on his shoes there was sludge perhaps from all over the world
he played me this song.
 
The song I'm singing and I have no idea
where he got the accords for it.
As I was sitting, watching and smoking
I was just composing it.
 
He says - son, I'm coming back from a party,
it seems we played cards.
A game of poker to decide who reigns in the future,
thanks God, I won.
 
I was lucky or a few trumps,
in the sleeve, a fraud - I know.
You want to judge me, so put me on a cross,
I'm yours - the devil and a son.
 
Then he spoke slowly and was destroying me by his power,
which he has in him for ages.
He was crushing me by truth and bleeding me,
and in the end, he says:
 
God created love and grief, pain as well,
And I created only lust.
I support you people, I don't know why you don't like me,
I sent him away.
 
I'm sitting and watching the twisted autumn
take the trees' clothes off.
I'm wondering what will happen to us,
and I want to sleep a little bit.
 
My head is falling and then I feel someone
slowly taking my hand.
A madman or a soldier, he stood there
like a weird mummery, let's invite him in.
