Lyrics

[00:05.77] If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
[00:11.82] If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.
[00:18.36] If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
[01:03.85] I stand alone and gaze upon the battlefield
[01:08.85] Wasteland is all that's left after the fight
[01:13.80] And now I'm searching a new way to defeat my enemy
[01:20.62] Bloodshed, I've seen enough of death and pain
[01:25.42] I will run, they will hunt me in vain
[01:29.39] I will hide, they'll be searching
[01:31.74] I'll regroup, feign retreat, they'll pursue
[01:34.95] Coup de grâce, I will win but never fight
[01:38.31] That's the art of war
[01:48.36] That's the art of war
[02:05.25] Breaking the will to fight among the enemy, force them to hunt me
[02:13.31] They will play my game and play by my rules
[02:18.35] I will be close but still untouchable
[02:22.02] No more will I see suffering and pain
[02:27.59] They will find me no more, I'll be gone
[02:30.70] I will have them surrounded
[02:33.38] They will yield without fight overrun, overrun
[02:36.13] Coup de grâce, I will win but never fight
[02:39.23] That's the Art of War
[02:49.68] That's the Art of War
[03:00.77] Broken and lost, tired of war
[03:03.28] They'll surrender to me
[03:06.32] Caught in my trap, there's no way out
[03:08.78] Fail never again
[03:54.78] I will run, they will hunt me in vain
[03:57.12] I will hide, they'll be searching
[03:59.83] I'll regroup, feign retreat, they'll pursue
[04:03.01] Coup de grâce, I will win but never fight
[04:06.16] That's the art of war
[04:16.75] That's the art of war
[04:26.67] That's the art of war
[04:36.64] That's the art of war
[04:59.48] Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence, supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.
