[Intro]
Ad gladios, Signa Inferre
Ad gladios, Vae Victis
Ad gladios, Gloria Mundi
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 rule the world
And I saw it grand
Fight at my side
You'll never taste the 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 the 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 the failure
Courage is key, let me teach you so
The Art of War

[Outro]
Ad gladios, Signa Inferre
Ad gladios, Vae Victis
Ad gladios, Gloria Mundi
Ad gladios, Vae Victis
A statesman's heart must be placed in his head
