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 hypnotised the guilt in career rhythm trance



Assassing, assassing, assassing, assassing



Listen as the syllables of slaughter cat with calm precision

Patterned frosty phrases rape your ears and sow the ice incision

Apocalyptic alphabet casting spell the creed of tempered diction

Adjectives of annihilation bury the point beyond redemption

Venomous verbs of ruthless candour plagiarise assassins fervour

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



I am the assassin

I am the assassin



And what do you call assassins who accuse assassins anyway, my friend
