The Assassin

[Verse 1]

I used to be a killer, best killer in the land

Killed women and children just as easy as a man

I rolled their mangled bodies nonchalantly out the door

But now I've lost my taste for killing anymore

[Verse 2]

Made me lots of money, was the best at my job

I never had to nine-to-five or cheat or steal or rob

Just load up my guns and leave 'em on the floor

But I ain't got the stomach for killing anymore

[Chorus]

Something must be done but I've done all that I can do

What good is an assassin who just can't follow through?

[Verse 3]

She took me in her arms when no one else would have me

Taught me how to throw the blade but [never learned that name?]

Taught me how to shoot so straight without a moment's guilt

She was the most beautiful thing that I have ever killed

[Chorus]

Something must be done but I've done all that I can do

What good is an assassin who just can't follow through?

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Something must be done but I've done all that I can do

What good is an assassin who just can't follow through?

Who just can't follow through?
