[Verse 1] From ancient China, wisdom flows, The art of war, strategy's guide! Sun Tzu said Know your enemy and know yourself, and you need not fear the result of a hundred battles! [Chorus] Heave ho, Sun Tzu, the battle calls! Avoid the fight before it falls! Heave ho, deception's subtle art! Play well thy role, play well thy part! [Verse 2] The greatest skill, the highest prize, Is winning 'fore the fight's begun! Sun Tzu said The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting! [Chorus] Heave ho, Sun Tzu, the battle calls! Avoid the fight before it falls! Heave ho, deception's subtle art! Play well thy role, play well thy part! [Verse 3] When ye be strong, seem weak and frail, When ye be weak, seem bold and grand! Sun Tzu said Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak! [Chorus] Heave ho, Sun Tzu, the battle calls! Avoid the fight before it falls! Heave ho, deception's subtle art! Play well thy role, play well thy part! [Verse 4] Though chaos reigns and storms descend, New chances wait around the bend, Sun Tzu said In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity! The victor wins before the fray, Sun Tzu said Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win! [Chorus] Heave ho, Sun Tzu, the battle calls! Avoid the fight before it falls! Heave ho, deception's subtle art! Play well thy role, play well thy part!
