War Is A Science - Various Artists (欧美群星)[00:00:00]

War is a science[00:00:35]

With rules to be applied[00:00:37]

Which good soldiers appreciate[00:00:40]

Recall and recapitulate[00:00:43]

Before they go to decimate[00:00:46]

The other side[00:00:49]

Now gentlemen [00:00:52]

This is the plan for tomorrow's skirmish[00:00:54]

The army of the enemy is stationed on the hill[00:00:59]

So we've got to bring them down here and this is[00:01:01]

How we will[00:01:03]

Our men in the ravine (That's this area in green)[00:01:04]

Will move across the valley where they plainly[00:01:07]

Can be seen[00:01:09]

And the enemy (in blue) will undoubtedly pursue[00:01:10]

For that's what you depend upon an enemy to do[00:01:13]

Then to guarantee their folly[00:01:18]

We'll bring bowmen into play[00:01:20]

Who will fire just one volley[00:01:21]

And retire to point "A"[00:01:24]

And then and then[00:01:26]

And gentlemen and then [00:01:30]

And then the men go marching out into the fray[00:01:34]

Conquering the enemy and carrying the day[00:01:39]

Hark The blood is pounding in our ears[00:01:43]

Jubilations We can hear a grateful nation's[00:01:46]

Cheers [00:01:50]

Pippin sit down immediately [00:01:54]

Now where was I Ah yes [00:01:59]

War is a science[00:02:04]

A breeding ground for brains[00:02:06]

For though I cannot write my name[00:02:09]

The men whose pens have brought them fame[00:02:12]

Write endless paragraphs explaining[00:02:15]

My campaigns[00:02:18]

Now when the foe see our soldiers marching[00:02:22]

Through the lea[00:02:24]

They will mount a charge and meet us at the point[00:02:25]

I've labeled "B"[00:02:27]

And their bowmen on the hill (In yellow on the map)[00:02:28]

Will leave their posts to join the rest and fall[00:02:31]

Into our trap[00:02:32]

Then we'll cut off reinforcements and retreat of[00:02:33]

Any kind[00:02:36]

Bearing principles of enfilade and defilade in mind [00:02:37]

And if all the ploys we pick to really[00:02:42]

Work to bring to pass occur[00:02:43]

We won't just have a victory[00:02:45]

We'll have ourselves a massacre[00:02:47]

And then and then[00:02:50]

And gentlemen and then [00:02:53]

And then the men go marching out into the fray[00:02:57]

Conquering the enemy and carrying the day[00:03:02]

Hark The blood is pounding in our ears[00:03:05]

Jubilations We can hear a grateful nation's [00:03:09]

Pippin [00:03:13]

In conclusion gentlemen [00:03:17]

Now listen to me closely I'll endeavor to explain[00:03:20]

What separates a charlatan from a Charlemagne[00:03:23]

A rule confessed by generals illustrious and various[00:03:26]

Though pompous as a Pompey or daring as a Darius[00:03:29]

A simple rule that every good man knows by heart[00:03:32]

It's smarter to be lucky than it's lucky to be smart[00:03:34]

And if the fates feel frivolous[00:03:41]

And all our plans they smother[00:03:44]

Well suppose this war does shrivel us[00:03:47]

There'll always be another [00:03:50]

And then [00:03:55]

And then [00:03:57]

And gentlemen and then [00:03:59]

Now gentlemen now [00:04:04]

And then the men go marching out into the fray[00:04:09]

Conquering the enemy and carrying the day[00:04:14]

Hark The blood is pounding in our ears[00:04:17]

Jubilations [00:04:20]

We can hear a grateful nation's cheers[00:04:22]
