If you know both yourself and your enemies
You can win a hundred battles without jeopardy
All warfare is based on deception
It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin
In the middle of a battlefield
No one's asking for the reason
We have a mission for this land
To guard the eagle's nest
Out of the deepest gloom
Out of the silent screams
Thousands of souls awakened from pain
They say it's time to fight
We know it's time to die
Like pawns in the game
We shall be dead
The art of war is covered by five constant factors
To be taken into account in one's deliberations.
These are: the moral law, heaven, earth
The commander, method and discipline
But we won't write the lines of history
Only leaders shall be praised
No one will recall our names
For the winner takes it all
Out of the deepest gloom
Out of the silent screams
Thousands of souls awakened from pain
They say it's time to fight
We know it's time to die
Like pawns in the game
We shall be dead
We are all dead
