MARILLION - Assassing lyrics
rate me(derek dick, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley)<br><br>I am the assassin, with tongue forged from eloquence<br>I am the assassin, providing your nemesis<br><br>On the sacrificial altar to success, my friend<br>Unleash a stranger from a kiss, my friend<br>No incantations of remorse, my friend<br>Unsheathe the blade within the voice, my friend<br>My friend, my friend, my friend<br><br>I am the assassin<br><br>Who decorates the scarf with the fugi knot<br>Who camouflaged emotion in a thousand yard stare<br>Who gouged the notches from the family tree<br>Who hypnotised the guilt in career rhythm trance<br><br>Assassing, assassing, assassing, assassing<br>Listen to the blade, feel the blade!<br><br>Listen as the syllables of slaughter cat with calm precision<br>Patterned frosty phrases rape your ears and sow the ice incision<br>Adjectives of annihilation<br>Bury the point beyond redemption<br>Venomous verbs of ruthless candour<br>Plagiarise assassins fervour<br>Apocalyptic alphabet casting spell<br>The creed of tempered diction<br><br>My friend, your friend the assassin<br>My friend, your friend the assassin<br>A friend in need is a friend that bleeds<br>A friend in need is a friend that bleeds<br>Let bitter silence infect the wound<br>Let bitter silence infect the wound<br><br>I am the assassin, my friend<br>I am the assassin, my friend<br>I am the assassin, my friend<br><br>You were a sentimental mercenary in a free fire zone parading a hollywood conscience<br>You were a fashionable objector with a uniform fetish<br>Pavlovian slaver at the cash till ring of success<br>A non com observer<br>I assassin the collector<br>Defector<br><br>So you resigned yourself to failure, my friend<br>And I emerged the chilling stranger, my friend<br>To eradicate the problem, my friend<br>Unsheathe the blade within the voice, within the voice<br>Within the voice, within the voice<br><br>And what do you call assassins who accuse assassins anyway, my friend?
