[00:07.427]War is a science
[00:09.738]Which a general must use
[00:13.327]With stratagems and strategies
[00:16.733]Statistical analyses
[00:20.987]To know how many soldiers he's prepared to lose
[00:26.576](spoken) Now, gentlemen
[00:27.496]This is the plan for tomorrow's skirmish
[00:31.037]The army of the enemy is stationed on the hill
[00:33.450]So we've got to draw them down here, where they're easier to kill
[00:36.494]So you in the ravine (That's this area in green)
[00:39.399]Will move across the plain where you plainly can be seen
[00:43.690]Then the enemy (in blue) will undoubtedly pursue
[00:46.573]And we'll hope to keep your losses to comparatively few
[00:51.866]And then...
[00:53.584][ENSEMBLE]
[00:54.349]And then...
[00:56.321][CHARLES]
[00:56.859]And gentlemen, and then....
[01:02.090][PIPPIN]
[01:03.190]And then the men go marching out into the fray
[01:07.172]Conquering the enemy and carrying the day
[01:10.779]Hark! The blood is pounding in our ears
[01:14.088]Jubilations! We can hear a grateful nation's cheers!
[01:18.334][CHARLES]
[01:18.794](spoken) Pippin, sit down immediately!
[01:22.804]Now, where was I? Ah, yes...
[01:29.288]A general accepts that war is hell or even worse
[01:31.200]He must never be too cautious or casualty averse
[01:33.549]I'm certain the majority of blood that you will splatter
[01:36.167]Will be theirs with just a minimum of damage that's collateral
[01:40.398]But we know for success you must also pay a price
[01:42.715]That's why for my success, you must sacrifice
[01:47.290]And then...
[01:49.040][ENSEMBLE]
[01:49.897]And then...
[01:51.466][CHARLES]
[01:51.957]And gentlemen, and then....
[01:57.614][PIPPIN]
[01:58.602]And then the men go marching out into the fray
[02:02.458]Conquering--
[02:03.235][CHARLES]
[02:03.504](spoken) Pippin!!
[02:04.513]PIPPIN]
[02:04.833](spoken) Sorry, Father
[02:05.736][CHARLES]
[02:07.108](spoken) Well, now, time is short...
[02:09.602]I'll have to speed the whole damn thing up!
[02:13.253]Listen to me, men, as I endeavor to explain
[02:15.044]What separates a charlatan from a Charlemagne
[02:17.040]A rule known to generals illustrious and various
[02:18.975]Though pompous as a Pompey or daring as a Darius
[02:21.032]A little rule that every leader knows by heart:
[02:23.897]It's smarter to be lucky than it's lucky to be smart
[02:28.477]And then...
[02:29.774][ENSEMBLE]
[02:30.671]And then...
[02:31.572][CHARLES]
[02:32.489]And gentlemen, and then....
[02:39.367](spoken) Now, Pippin! Now!!
[02:42.386][ENSEMBLE]
[02:43.999]And then the men go marching out into the fray
[02:48.643]Conquering the enemy and carrying the day
[02:53.353]Hark! The blood is pounding in our ears
[02:56.854]Jubilations! We can hear a grateful nation's cheers!
