The Assassin Lyrics

The Assassin lyrics

Used to be a killer

Best killer in the land

Killed women and children

Just as easy as a man



Leave their mangled bodies

Nonchalantly at the door

But now I ain't got the stomach

For killing any more



Made me lots of money

Was the best at my job

Never had to nine to five

Or cheat or steal or rob



Just load up my gun

And leave them on the floor

But now I've lost my taste

For killing any more



Something must be done

But it's all that I can do

What good is an assassin

Who just can't follow through



She took me in her arms

When no one else would have me

Taught me how to throw the blade

And never let 'em have me



Taught me how to shoot so straight

Without a moments skill

She was the most beautiful thing

That I have ever killed



Something must be done

But it's all that I can do

What good is an assassin

Who just can't follow through



I used to be a killer

Murdered by the score

Now I just don't think

I can kill any more
