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.

I stand alone and gaze upon the battlefield

Wasteland is all that's left after the fight

And now I'm searching 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

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'll 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

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

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
