[Intro] Em "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." [Instrumental] Em | Em* | Em | G D (x3) Em | Em C *only half a bar [Verse 1]
Em
I stand
Alone and gaze upon the battlefield
Em
Wasteland

              G               D
Is all that's left after the fight

             Em
And now I'm searching
A new way to defeat my enemy
Em
Bloodshed

           G                  D
I've seen enough of death and pain
[Pre-chorus]
Bm
I will run, they will hunt me in vain

                        Am  C
I will hide, they'll be searching

Bm
I'll regroup, feign retreat, they'll pursue
Coup de grâce
       C             D
I will win but never fight
[Chorus]
                     Em | Em* | Em | G D

   Em
Breaking
The will to fight among the enemy
Em
Force them

            G                 D
To hunt me, they will play my game

            Em
And play by my rules
I will be close but still untouchable
Em
No more 

           G             D
Will I see suffering and pain
[Chorus]
  Bm
They will find me no more, I'll be gone

                    Am  C
I will have them surrounded

Bm
They will yield without fight, overrun
Coup de grâce
       C             D
I will win but never fight
[Chorus]
                     Em | Em* | Em | G D

That's the Art of war
[Bridge]

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)
