…………………………..assassin…………………………..
i killed you
in the middle of the night
dead to a cold cold world
you tried to stop my hand
like brick walls stop bad wolves
i took the life out of you
it's just what i was told to do
i feel no regret, feel no emotion
simply the instrument of death
just a job to me, can't you see?
we're all going to die anyway
you think that i'm a monster
living life without a soul
that life is sacred
and i'm profane
but what you don't see
is where we'll be
at the end of this road
6/8
you need to know who i am
i'm not the man you thought me to be
i'm a killer but not the devil
not a saint nor an angel
i'm an assassin
i'll make it quick
no time to think
no reaction
and now you're gone
no aggression in the action
just a simple swift end
you've been silenced
without a fight
cold wind is the only eye
to another unnoticed crime
blood melts snow and now i'll go
to be with you in this starry night
****Chorus 2x******
