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 belong, 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 belong, 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? (are you a principled man?)
Under a flag they sword a bond; caught under fire they ran, (are you a principled man?)
Are you the one standing your ground? Are you a principled man? (are you a principled man?)
Followers fall, blinded by kings, lost in the lie of the land, (are you a principled man?)
Are you the one sworn to be true? Are you a principled man?
Many's the man, grounded by greed, leaning on power and land, (are you a principled man?)
Show me the one lost in the stars, show me a principled man.
