"Man Of Principle" lyrics - PALLAS

Dedication
Desperation
Winning in a world of ruthless automation
Got to make each second count, each moment pay
Pass the post and beat the clock
Can't leave off tomorrow till today

Can't you see there's the writing on the wall
Pressure's on and building up
You're heading for a fall

Nations rise and fall, but you'll outlast them all
Who cares if our leaders get it wrong
Dancing round the edge where angels fear to tread
Lose your grip and you might fall
Face the truth you just can't have it all

Can't you see there's the writing on the wall
Pressure's on and building up
You're heading for a fall

Man of principle
Voice of reason
Lift your eyes and see the
Chaos that surrounds you
Man of principle
Take it easy
Listen for your heart
Take the time to think
What living means to you

Reckless in your ways, but solid in your thoughts
Quick to take from fools but never caught
Hidden by a twisted smile you face the world
Come out from behind the mask, take a look at what you've learned

Can't you see there's the writing on the wall
Pressure's on and building up
You're heading for a fall

Man of principle
Voice of reason
Lift your eyes and see the
Chaos that surrounds you
Man of principle
Take it easy
Listen for your heart
Take the time to think
What living means to you

Can you hear the voice of reason
Can hear the voices call
Can you hear the voice of reason
Listen closely to its song
A better world lies in your keeping
Grab it now before it's gone

Can't you see there's the writing on the wall
Pressure's on and building up
You're heading for a fall

Man of principle
Voice of reason
Lift your eyes and see the
Chaos that surrounds you
Man of principle
Take it easy
Listen for your heart
Take the time to think of what you've got
Man of principle
Take it easy
Listen for your heart
Take the time to think
What living means to you
