Soma Sema is the first known allusion to the separation of body and mind found in Greek Philosophy.

lyrics

And so is this just truth's disguise,
Have we learned to believe in lies,
I'm alive inside this body,
Where will I find,
A gravedigger to help me,
Bury my mind.

This bone poison is rotting thru my skin,
And my spirit hungers for its fair share of sin,
Split in two,
Half life; half death,
Some divine will,
Wrapped in mortal breath.

And so now is beauty just a ruse,
Pull your mind out of your sex for lovemaking with the muse,
From the world of appearance,
To atomic souls,
Building buildings,
And digging holes.

Don't waste your touch on these futile feelings,
Nature holds no double dealings,
There's only one there's only god,
From Eden's gate to the land of Nod,
Touch your lover's body to feel her soul,
Unchain the planet and watch it roll,
Take your life and don't grovel death,
Live your words and don't waste your breath.

And so now lets really taste her lips,
I wanna dig my fingernails into her hips,
I sold my soul to my body,
And my mind to the Earth,
I don't live for death,
And I praise my birth.

Loving life you come to me,
Your beauty bare I long to see,
Bring me heaven in mortal dress,
I want no more and I need no less.
