Sabaton - The Art Of War (Live At The Sabaton Cruise, Dec. 2010)

"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 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 and more, I'll be gone Our land, they're 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 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! "Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence
