Lyrics to “Decadence”:

To the God in which I believe not just some fairy-tale
The God who answered me in power and revealed Himself
To You my God I lift up my life, body and soul and to this world festering in filth
I feel no remorse to leave you but while I’m still here mark these words

I DENY YOU! [x4]

And your wicked ways
From this day forth you have my hate
Your desires disgust me and your designs are frail
Building churches of flesh and bone, Susceptible to rot and decay

Feel the foundations start to crumble, sensing your demise
Let the walls collapse
This is the day perversion dies [x2]

Let it die [x2]

Oh God, how I love You!
And I will bless You forever for what You have done
Oh wicked world, how I hate you!
And I will never forgive you for what you have become!

Song Explanation:

This song is just a cry of the heart saying, “God, YOU ALONE ARE HOLY! YOU ALONE ARE WORTHY! You are the only thing worth living for. Compared to You all I have to give is as filthy rags. The decadence of our flesh has stained the beauty of the world that You created, and yet You remain faithful. So I will deny this world and leave the unrighteousness of my flesh to its own unrighteousness! I love You, Lord! May Your name be blessed, even in the midst of our own filth.”
