Marillion Assassing (7'' version) Lyrics

I am the a__assin,
with tongue forged from eloquence
I am the a__assin,
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

a__assing, a__assing, a__assing, a__assing

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 a__assins 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 a__assin 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 a__assin
I am the a__assin

And what do you call a__assins who accuse a__assins anyway, my friend?
