Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you know the enemy, and know yourself
You need not fear the result of a hundred battles
If you know yourself, but not the enemy
For every victory gained, you will also suffer a defeat
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle
[Verse 2]
I stand alone and gaze upon the battlefield
Wasteland is all that's left after the fight
And now I'm searchin' a new way to defeat my enemy
Bloodshed, I've seen enough of death and pain
I will run, they will hunt me in vain
I will hide, they'll be searching
I'll regroup, feign retreat, they'll pursue
Coup de grace, I will win, but never fight
That's the art of war
That's the art of war
[Verse 3]
Breaking the will to fight among the enemy
Force them to hunt me, they will play my game
And play by my rules, I will be close, but still untouchable
No more, will I see suffering and pain
They will find me no more I will be gone
I will have them surrounded
They will yield without fight, overrun
Coup de grace, I will win, but never fight
That's the art of war
That's the art of war
[Verse 4]
Broken and lost, tired of war
They'll surrender to me
Caught in my trap, there's no way out
Fail never again (Never again)
[Verse 5]
I will run, they will hunt me in vain
I will hide, they'll be searching
I'll regroup, feign retreat, they'll pursue
Coup de grace, I will win, but never fight
That's the art of war
That's the art of war
That's the art of war
That's the art of war
