Assassing (Live From Loreley|2009 Remaster) - 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
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 hypnotism the guilt in career rhythm trance
Assassing assassing assassing assassing
Listen as the syllables of slaughter
Cut 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 plagiarism assassins fervor
Apocalyptic alphabet casting
Spell the creed of tempered diction
A friend in need is a friend that bleeds
Let bitter silence infect the wound
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
