SONG OF SUN TZU song lyrics
by Joel Sattler
if you know the enemy
and if you know yourself
you need not fear a hundred battles
in and of themselves
the supremest of the arts of war
is something that it's not:
defeat the enemy utterly
without a single shot
win first the victory in your mind
and use your second sight
to strike first and then seek to win
is sure to lose the fight
be subtle up to the point of formlessness
be now extreme mysterious
even down to soundlessness
is sure to be victorious
for he who knows when he must clash
and when to turn aside
provokes opponent something rash
and waits to take the tide
the ultimate of surety
to fool him something else
the surety of victory
make him defeat himself
quickness is the blood of war
and to avert disaster
know you enemy and yourself
to win you must be faster
defense can be invincible
if you just watch your back
but success it only can be won
at the right time to attack
tactics are all good and fine
but the end can only come
if you destroy their strategy
they'll take to heels and run
Sun Tzu he taught us good and well
there comes a time for whom the bell
and heaven can be won do tell
even though a war is hell
