| VNV Nation – Art of Conflict Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Seems like he is speaking of alot of things combinged into one song. "There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare." means its never good to fight, to wage battle, further advocated by, "Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without having to fight" A lot of it could relate to any war, in instance the IRAQ war right now, we cannot hope to succeed if we make the enemy unknown and stereotypical, if we 'understand the opponent how do we know that we ourselves aren't the evil force attacking? Could also refer to self conflict battles, "Speed is the essence of war" Listen to your heart, it will always be the first to know what is right to do, if in doubt follow its guidance and trust your instincts, he who does this understands how to deal with conflict. |
