A Principled Man

A Principled Man



Under a flag

they sword a bond

caught under fire they ran

are you the one

standing your ground?

are you a principled man?



Followers fall

blinded by kings

lost in the lie of the land

are you the one

sworn to be true?

are you a principled man?



Now...begin

come alongside it

seize the wind

come along, ride it

one day it will be you believing

there is a principled man



Who goes there?

do you belond, lad?

you know there

is a new dawn, and

one day to say stick with me, baby

I am a principled man



Many's the man

grounded by greed

leaning on power and land

show me the one

lost in the stars

show me a principled man



Now...begin

seize the wind



Who goes there?

do you belond, lad?

you know there

is a new dawn, and

one day to say stick with me, baby

I am a principled man



Bleeding and hushed

hung between thieves

there the foundation began

are you the one

taking your cross?

are you a principled man?
