We walk among powers and principalities,
our eyes firmly closed against realities;
yet, with our mouths we speak belief
and cry out for relief.
Oh, you fools, can you not see
the great power you attempt to deceive?

We have become an I society,
our obedience to principality.
Oh, yes, our allegiance to a nation
full of hate and evil elation,
where illict gain is called fame
and lies merely a corporate game.

So bow down to lust called love
while saying, "Trust God above;"
kneel reverently to the principal of I,
firmly grasping the power to buy;
but, dare ye not weep,
for your soul the devil keeps.

Yes, among powers and principalities we walk,
of our own greatness and wonder we talk;
and, to the principal we kneel and pray,
dutifully paying homage each and every day.
Have you so easily forgotten the power above?
Forsaken His law and shunned His merciful love?

How can you reverently kneel to man's law,
so full of pain and flaw?
How can you say, "To God I pray,"
when you shun His law and His day?
Of powers and principalities we have a choice,
and only in power can we rejoice!
