Act of Faith Songtext
von Decline of the I

You are my truth
I am your life
You were my truth
I am your lie

Feel my desire
See me as your doom
Feed my desire
See me as your bloom

Your innocence has captured my jaded carcass
I need to feel my own demise in your eyes

You are my truth - I am your truth
Every wine seems tasteless
I am your life - You are my life
When I lick your milky skin
You were my truth - I was your truth
I feel like a god and a beast
I am your lie - You are my lie
I′ll devour you like a hunted sheep


Dance for me now, the night will be short
I fight my acrimonious lucidity
Tumors spread to my consciousness
I still resist to adore you until the crack of dawn

Rapture, despair
Caress, treason
Embrace, regrets
Softness, aridity

Rapture, despair
This union is an act of faith
Caress, treason
You'll love me more than yourself
Embrace, regrets
Don′t try to erase the illusion
Softness, aridity
Believe in our tragedy

You are my truth
I am your life
You were my truth
I am your lie


Feel my desire
See me as your doom
Feed my desire
See me as your bloom

Spiritualizing the flesh as a wounded seducer
I wait for the decline of a race
Sarcasm is no longer a support
Heaven stole innocence from me

If I love her, I have to flee
This is my promise to the silent stars
I'll miss the pallor of her skin
And her hands catching my trembling sigh

I write to avoid facing myself
Now I seek beauty in the invisible
An absence heavier than a presence
The scream of the deepest silence
