Lyrics
I stand alone
I am standing alone.
And gaze upon the battlefield
I am observing the aftermath of the battlefield.
Wasteland
The battlefield is now a wasteland.
Is all that's left after the fight
All that remains after the fight is destruction.
And I'm searching a new way to defeat my enemy
I am seeking a new strategy to defeat my enemy.
Bloodshed
I have witnessed enough death and pain.
I've seen enough of death and pain
Enough bloodshed and suffering.
I will run - they will hunt me in vain
I will run, and they will chase me in vain.
I will hide - they'll be searching
I will hide, and they will search for me.
I'll regroup - feign retreat they'll pursue
I will regroup, pretending to retreat, and they will pursue me.
Coup de grâce I will win but never fight [mercy killing]
I will achieve victory without engaging in direct combat (mercy killing).
That's the Art of War!
This is the Art of War.
Breaking the will to fight among the enemy
I aim to break the enemy's will to fight.
Force them to hunt me
I will force them to pursue me.
They will play my game
They will play the game according to my strategy.
And play by my rules
They will follow my rules.
I will be close but still untouchable
I will be near but remain untouchable.
No more will I see suffering and pain
I will no longer witness suffering and pain.
They will find me no more
They will not find me anymore; I will be gone.
I'll be gone
(No specific meaning provided in the lyrics.)
I will have them surrounded
I will have the enemy surrounded.
They will yield without fight overrun
They will surrender without putting up a fight, overwhelmed.
Overrun
(No specific meaning provided in the lyrics.)
Coup de grâce
A decisive and final blow.
I will win but never fight
I will achieve victory without engaging in direct combat (repeated).
That's the Art of War
This is the Art of War (repeated).
Broken and lost
The enemy is broken and lost.
Tired of war
They are tired of war.
They'll surrender to me
They will surrender to me.
Caught in my trap
They are caught in my trap.
There's no way out
There is no escape for them.
Fail never again
They will never fail again.
I will run - they will hunt me in vain
I will run, and they will chase me in vain (repeated).
I will hide - they'll be searching
I will hide, and they will search for me (repeated).
I'll regroup - feign retreat they'll pursue
I will regroup, pretending to retreat, and they will pursue me (repeated).
Coup de grâce I will win but never fight [mercy killing]
I will achieve victory without engaging in direct combat (mercy killing, repeated).
That's the Art of War!
This is the Art of War (repeated).
