“Steal of Your Kiss” sets the tone for Sonus Veritatis I with a surge of tension, desire, and emotional push-and-pull. Built on driving guitars and a steady groove, the song captures that moment between two people where nothing is said — but everything is understood.

It’s a story of hesitation and attraction, of crossing invisible lines and feeling something real before it’s even spoken out loud. The lyrics move like a conversation without words — one step forward, one step back — until the tension finally breaks.

Musically, the track blends classic 80’s rock energy with a modern edge: layered guitars, dynamic shifts, and a raw vocal performance that builds from control into release. The extended bridge and ad-libs bring a live, almost stage-like intensity, echoing the spirit of arena rock ballads.

As the opening track, it doesn’t ease you in — it pulls you straight into the world of Sonus Veritatis:
honest, emotional, and impossible to ignore.

Lyrics

“Steal of Your Kiss”

You walk past me like I’m not there,
but your smile says try if you dare.
Every step pulls me deeper in —
yeah, you start the game, I play to win.

Pre-Chorus
You turn away like this ain’t real,
but your pulse gives what you conceal.
One more breath and I’ll be close —
the moment breaks, and then who knows…

Chorus
Steal of your kiss,
I feel it every time we miss.
You pull away, but you don’t resist —
I know you want me near.

Steal of your kiss,
you linger on the edge of this.
One heartbeat more, we cross that risk —
and nothing left to fear…
the steal of your kiss.

Verse 2
You touch and run, but leave your trace,
like you want me close but need your space.
You spark a fire just beneath my skin —
yeah, you light the fuse, I pull the pin.

Pre-Chorus
I feel you pull, then push again,
make up your mind — just say when.

Chorus
Steal of your ki-i-iss,
I’m waiting on that fire you resist.
Every heartbeat says you’re close to this —
don’t fade when I draw near.

Steal of your ki-i-iss,
you know there’s something we can’t dismiss.
One breath more and we fall into bliss —
so come and let me hear…
the steal of your kiss.

(Slow the music down, guitar is welling in the background)
(Drums hit / guitars swell)

Uuuh—yeah…
Uuuh—haaah…
Yeeeaaah—ahh!

[moment of silence — guitar lick]

Aaow—mmh!
Uuuh—yeah—uh-huh!
Yeeaah—aaah!

[band drops slightly — bass / drums groove]

(ad-lib scream) “Don’t you walk away…”
(ad-lib quietly) “I know you feel this…”

Yeeaah—aaah!
Ooh—yeeeaah!

[guitar answers — higher bend]

(ad-lib, soft) “Right there… just like that…”
(ad-lib, grin) “Uh-huh… yeah you do…”

[band builds]

Uuuh—uuuuh—YEEEEAAAH!

Outro
You trace my jaw — I hold your wrist,
your pulse says more than words could list.
No running now, we’re locked in this —
you wanted proof?
Here’s the steal of your kiss.

Steal of your KISS!
