Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "The Art of War" von Sabaton beschreibt die Bedeutung und die Strategie des Krieges. Es geht darum, den Fei...

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 thats's left after the fight
And now I'm searching
A new way to defeat my enemy
Bloodshead 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, they'll retreat
They'll pursue
Coup de grâce
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 no more
I'll be gone I will have them surrounded
They will yield without fight
Overrunned
Coup de grâce
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

I will run, they will hunt me in vain
I will hide, they'll be searching
I'll regroup, they'll retreat
They'll pursue
Coup de grâce
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 exellence. Supreme exellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.
