The Art of War

Lyrics

[Intro] Ad gladios, ad gladios, ad gladios, Signa Inferre! Ad gladios, ad gladios, ad gladios, Vae Victis! Ad gladios, ad gladios, ad gladios, Gloria Mundi! Ad gladios, ad gladios, ad gladios, Vae Victis! A statesman's heart must be placed in his head [Verse 1] I can remember all the days of violence I can remember all the days they fought for rights When men united all by fear and interest I mustered them with hopeful promises I've broken [Pre-Chorus 1] Almighty giver of all life Sun you're my god, open my eyes I have to conquer, I am made to serve that aim [Chorus] Do as I command You'll never stop a dreamer Imagination rules the world And I saw it grand Fight at my side You'll never taste a failure Courage is key, let me teach you so The Art of War [Verse 2] I do not want a bench covered with velvet I do not want a crown unless power goes with it Religion I would use to serve ambition Glory is fleeting, the obscure is forever [Pre-Chorus 2] Almighty giver of all life Sun you're my god, open my eyes I have to conquer, no matter the pain, no matter the harm [Chorus] Do as I command You'll never stop a dreamer Imagination rule the world And I saw it grand Fight at my side You'll never taste a failure Courage is key, let me teach you so The Art of War [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus 3] I command for greater tomorrow Power is my reward Raise your head, fate will guide you now and forever [Chorus] Do as I command You'll never stop a dreamer Imagination rule the world And I saw it grand Fight at my side You'll never taste a failure Courage is key, let me teach you so The Art of War [Outro] Ad gladios, ad gladios, ad gladios, Signa Inferre! Ad gladios, ad gladios, ad gladios, Vae Victis! Ad gladios, ad gladios, ad gladios, Gloria Mundi! Ad gladios, ad gladios, ad gladios, Vae Victis! A statesman's heart must be placed in his head
