Sacred Soul stuck in a profane Body Insane Id inflicts anguish on scared Ego Man finds trouble with doubled nature Both Angel and Beast want what's best But both can not be satisfied at once This division against ourselves Can only offer suffering in our lives So man does the civilized thing Obliged to be sad inside and depressed And represses those impolite appetites That contaminates consciousness
