In a morally bankrupt nation, in industries where selling your integrity is often a source of pride, what does it mean to hold onto yourself? And what happens if you fail?
lyrics
Would you trade your soul in heartbreak, lay
Down your life for love
Sacrifice the meaning that you
Found in stars above
I dream of contracts signed and
Songs that never end, but I
Know the endless notes are formed when
Past sinister bends
What’s a soul worth to the sinner, it’s worth
Far more to the saint, the
Price you pay seems so much less when
Faced with love and cash without restraint
You sold your soul, for the
Heart of rock and roll, but the
Man stood at the crossroads only
Knows you as another soul for sale
Would you trade your soul for glory, in
Eternal reverie
Grab onto salvation like a
Raft on open sea
There is no story not
Improved by heaven’s glare, but
The path you paved with gold has mortar
Made of moral care
What’s a soul worth to the sinner, it’s worth
Far more to the saint, the
Price you pay seems so much less when
Faced with love and cash without restraint
You sold your soul, to pay
Purgatory's toll, but the
Man stood at the crossroads only
Knows you as another soul for sale
Would you trade your soul for power, to
Build upon your wealth, raise
Drinks to your corruption, the good
Tidings and bad health
Leadership of devils, but they’ve
Always been inside, they
Sold their soul so long ago
In that they take their pride
What’s a soul worth to the sinner, it’s worth
Far more to the saint, the
Price you pay seems so much less when
Faced with love and cash without restraint
You sold your soul, for the
Power of control, but the
Man stood at the crossroads only
Knows you as another soul for sale
The Facades is the solo project of a queer electronic music composer (she/they) who thinks consistent gender and consistent genre are for scrubs. The characters they portray take a front seat, with a witty lyrical edge to speak truth to power.
