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´ll regroup, feign retreat, they´ll pursue
Coup de grâce, 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 grâce, 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
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 grâce, I will win but never fight
(Mercy killing)
That´s the art of war
