We fell and were dressed in skin   as beasts to roam this labyrinth   the voice of the Cosmic Mind   still echoes in the depths inside      Behold these carnal forms   against a background of gold   with black aureoles      Spirit and matter, the balance and the battle   polarity - the basis of all living and dead   the dragon and the serpent, the higher and the lower   polarity - the basis of all written and said      By a modern means to an ancient end   to pour reason on the minds once bent   the "I" is nought without the "AM"   awareness, light the wick in man      Full of the hunger to absorb more   and to shine it all forth   with black aureoles      Spirit and matter, the balance and the battle   polarity - the basis of all living and dead   the dragon and the serpent, the higher and the lower   polarity - the basis of all written and said      The warmth on our backs   is the same on your chest   and the cold beneath our feet   is the one on your flesh
