The Assassin

Lyrics

[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?
