The Art of War (Explicit)

The Art of War - Sabaton

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 grâ ce

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 grâ ce

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 grâ ce

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
