Rogue Assassin

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm an Irishman that's never been to Ireland But the gift of the gab lies in my repartee with my friend Liam O'Brien He and I are like brothers, same clouth cut in different colours Enkindled a kinship 'til a hypocritical king up and ripped it from us The innocents living in Lisbon didn't do this How can Achilles even live with this shit? As if they were insignificant zip Cold killing, whole cities are ripped into bits, it seems the ability to think is a gift Sinking a ship, then retreating back into the mist as if we didn't exist I need to relieve the tension, my deep intention Is to seek redemption, speak in sentences too bleak to mention When I pledge allegiance every previous debt to Creeds I've yet to leave, just ends effective immediately, left free to vent my grievances To strengthen weakened links and heal the rifts Between the people that should be free, but even me just feeling this is treasonous If this is the Creed I don't believe in it, I'm leaving it Even if it means that I'm a fugitive I'm feeling sick [Chorus] I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order Giving no quarter I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order Going Rogue, then I'm going all out I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order Giving no quarter I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order Going Rogue, then I'm going all out [Verse 2] When even royalty is feeling raw you'll see that loyalty is cheap For the right pile of coins you'll leave your boy lying in a soiled heap Such hypocrites just a little bit and I'm loathe to laugh But how can you think that you're doing good roasting flesh and bones to ash? There's a total lack of evidence 'cause no one yet invented photographs So I asked the question no Assassin was supposed to ask I'm a motormouth that goes and blows the gaff with social gaffes But Eden's overgrown, it's only me that weeds and mows the grass Ice breaker, life taker Got a job to do, I'll die later My faith in what's rights shaken Maybe I should be more like Haytham Slice blades in a liar's face If he tries playing any mind games But my heart's stayed in the right place So my mind changed every five days Read the far flames See the fire blaze In the fireplace There's a charred face It's a hard case trying to find the right way through a dark maze When I'm facing it sideways, can't remember my name, am I Shay? I can't say, but I know I'm chased So I shan't stay, au revoir mate [Chorus] I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order Giving no quarter I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order Going Rogue, then I'm going all out I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order Giving no quarter I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order Going Rogue, then I'm going all out
