sea of faces: true

true

i told you i’m true
as everything i said
if you don’t believe me
i don’t mind to swear

i won’t swear by the moon
its inconstancy rules the tides
i won’t swear by the sky
cause skies are doomed to fall
i won’t swear by the stars
they all eventually fade
i won’t swear by the universe
cause it expands to the end
i won’t swear by time
cause it doesn’t exist
i won’t swear by my life
cause it’s temporary
and i don’t care much about it now

i could swear by change
the only immutable thing
i could swear by music
the most sacred thing
but i'll swear by true love
cause it’s eternal
so by true love i swear
i am nothing but true
to you.

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)!
