[Verse 1]
I see the headlines
Feel the hate
Neighbors turning into shapes
Every face a loaded gun
But I know that’s not the one
Shadows whisper
Feed the fire
Push my patience
Twist desire
I clench my fists
I want to swing
But flesh and blood aren’t the enemy
[Pre-Chorus]
So I bite my tongue
Drop my pride
Call Your name
Let You divide
[Chorus]
This is war in the unseen places
Claws in the dark
Not the human faces
Principalities
They circle and scheme
But my God cuts through like a blazing beam
I won’t aim at the ones I see
When the real fight’s on my knees
[Verse 2]
Backroom deals and crooked crowns
Voices telling me “burn it down”
But behind the suits and screens
Something crawls in the machine
I’m not blind
I see the bruise
But I choose a different move
Lift the shield
I raise the Word
Let the steel of truth be heard
[Pre-Chorus]
When my blood runs hot
And my sight runs red
I remember who
Already crushed their head
[Chorus]
This is war in the unseen places
Claws in the dark
Not the human faces
Principalities
They circle and scheme
But my God cuts through like a blazing beam
I won’t aim at the ones I see
When the real fight’s on my knees
[Bridge]
Suit me up
Belt of truth tight (hey!)
Breastplate locked
In borrowed light
Feet set firm
On peace
Not rage
Sword drawn high
At the hidden cage
Rulers in the airwaves
Lords in the haze
You fall like sparks
When I call His name
[Chorus]
This is war in the unseen places
Claws in the dark
Not the human faces
Principalities
They circle and scheme
But my God cuts through like a blazing beam
I won’t aim at the ones I see
When the real fight’s on my knees
Yeah the real fight’s on my knees (on my knees)
The real fight’s on my knees
