The Art of War

Lyrics

[Spoken] 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 [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 gr�ce I will win but never fight [Chorus] That's the Art of War! That's the Art of war! [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] They will find me no more I'll be gone I will have them surrounded They will yield without fight overrun Coup de gr�ce I will win but never fight [Chorus] That's the Art of War! That's the Art of War! [Bridge] 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) [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus] 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 gr�ce I will win but never fight [Chorus] That's the Art of War! That's the Art of War! That's the Art of War! That's the Art of War! [Spoken] Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting
