I know myself, but could I ever know you?
Behind the soldiers and generals cutting through
What lies beyond them among the grounds and ranks?
I wish to see it true
Dare make a forward move?
夫钝兵挫锐
To stay would be to lose
屈力殚货 yes, you've lost your way
Heavy rains wash dew away
绝水必远水
You're the heart of war
I'll be grazing from afar
Every beat, every breath
Oh, it can only end in death
When I see who you are
Will it all have been deceit?
On this field cinnabar
To leave your face in retreat
知天知地 my victory complete
知己知彼 but just one thing out of reach
By 兵法 we abide, 百战不殆
No ease, no rest, till I'm on ground up high
I know myself, but could I ever know you?
Behind the traps, tricks and stratagems thought through
If I look inside of you, would I find it empty?
Save for all your lies
Dare make a fool of me?
吾以此知胜负矣
Hiding strength wile acting weak?
I'll indulge 于佯顺敌之意
What a shame, fan the flames
火人积辎库队
But you're all I adore
At the heart of this war
Every beat, every breath
Fighting till there's nothing left
When I look through the depths
And your sillhouette, I see
Even past this divide in death
You make me complete
不可胜在己 advance I do decree
可胜在敌 it's mine this victory
By 兵法 we survive, 百战不殆
No ease, no rest, till on the ground you lie
You were the heart of war
All that I would bleed for
There's neither beat nor breath
It's all ended with your death
如怒可以复喜
Was there a need to bleed?
如愠可以复悦
When you were all that I need
You're the heart of war
I'll be grazing from afar
Every beat, every breath
Why must it end in death?
When we each the other lead
I'll fall for your deceit
This dance will never end
In the depths of history
知天知地 heaven and earth, I plead
知己知彼 in this realm, just you and me
By 兵法 we abide, 百战不殆
No ease, no rest, till all of you is mine
