Sabaton[The Art Of War] 3. The Art of War

Текст песни "Sabaton[The Art Of War] — 3. The Art of War"

"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
