O Father in heaven
I entreat you for your aid
The Serpent has me trapped
The beast within pervades
O Lord, if I am left alone
The Serpent whispers filth into my mind
Although I fight to remain clean
The cravings of the flesh all bind
Forgive me my indulgences
I can’t prevail alone
Please cage the inner animal
For now it holds my throne
Please save me from the lustful beast within
Without your spirit, I cannot begin
