I stand alone And gaze upon the battlefield Wasteland Is all that's left after the fight And 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 grāce I will win but never fight [mercy killing] 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
Overrun Coup de grāce
I will win but never fight 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
