Assassing (Single Version)

Assassing

7 Version

Marillion

Derek d**k steve rothery mark kelly pete trewavas ian mosley

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 rape 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

A friend in need is a friend that bleeds

A friend in need is a friend that bleeds

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
