exposed - devil's gold

devil’s gold (by deav)
Rio, Mai-Jun 2003
(exposed)

now i’m properly labeled
i’m a number in a tag
i feel almost comfortable now
i’ll be counted in again

now i wear a badge
now i’m in the system
now i’ll give my mind and blood
in exchange for the devil’s gold

it’s a relief, actually
after being disconnected
for a while
i can breathe finally
now that my life is back
to a file

now i wear a leash
i’ll wear it till i get old
now i’ll give my heart and soul
in exchange for the devil’s gold

and the brief taste of hope
and the soft wind of freedom
will be dropped along the road
as i gladly worship the shadow kingdom

(set me free)

serious stuff

my lyrics and writings are protected by author's right (droit d'auteur), which is the system of legal protection in Civil Law countries which subscribed the Union Convention of Berna (1886), according to which the act of registration is declarative of the existing right.

my lyrics and writings, although not registered in any national or international organization of property rights, are also protected by copyright, which is the system of legal protection in Common-Law countries which subscribed the Universal Convention, according to which the act of registration (since 1976) is also declarative, not constitutive, of the existing right.

all this means that the lyrics and other things were written by me and cannot be used for commercial purposes without my authorization and the due payment of royalties.

if you want to use them, ask me! if you want to quote them, make a reference to the source (after all, that's what quoting means...)! please, don't abuse them (I'll sue you)!
