Assassing

Assassing - Marillion

I am the assassin

With tongue forged from eloquence

I am the assassin

Providing your nemesis

On the sacrificial altar to success my friend

Unleash a stranger from a kiss my friend

No incantations of remorse my friend

Unsheathe the blade within the voice

My friend

My friend my friend my friend

I am the assassin

Who decorates the scarf with the fugi knot

Who camouflaged emotion

In a thousand yard stare

Who gouged the notches

From the family tree

Who hypnotised the guilt

In career rhythm trance

Assassing assassing assassing assassing

Listen to the blade feel the blade

Listen as the syllables of slaughter

Cat with calm precision

Patterned frosty phrases R**e your

Ears and sow the ice incision

Adjectives of annihilation

Bury the point beyond redemption

Venomous verbs of ruthless candour

Plagiarise assassins fervour

Apocalyptic alphabet casting spell

The creed of tempered diction

My friend your friend the assassin

My friend your friend the assassin

My friend your friend the assassin

Let bitter silence infect the wound

Let bitter silence infect the wound

I am the assassin my friend

I am the assassin my friend

I am the assassin my friend

You were a sentimental mercenary

In a free fire zone parading

A Hollywood conscience

You were a fashionable objector

With a uniform fetish

Pavlovian slaver at the

Cash till ring of success

A non com observer

I assassin the collector

Defector

So you resigned yourself to failure

My friend

And I emerged the chilling stranger

My friend

To eradicate the problem my friend

Unsheathe the blade within the voice

Within the voice

Within the voice within the voice

And what do you call assassins who

Accuse assassins anyway my friend
