A focus of our fascinationFor centuries past humankindHas tried to decipher the mindSo common were theoriesThat environmental influenceShapes developing mindsForegoing the obviousNatural instinctAnd if it is primal this instinctBuilt in us allCould this eventuallyLead to our fallThe animal lives inside usInside of meBut how close is man to beastWired into our subconsciousAggression is in every beastAs the normal desire to eatCaused by the threat of natureReactions can be suppressedBut only for some timeAnd just like a time bombWe all can explodeAs history repeats itselfAnd man chooses warWill we finally cease to exist no moreThe animal lives inside usInside of meBut how close is man to beastAnd if it is primal instinctBuilt in us allCould this eventuallyLead to our fallThe animal lives inside usInside of meBut how close is man to beast[Chorus x2]
