I come from far away

anywhere I am is home

if you could make me stay

you'd only always be alone

Under greying skies

we receive

the endless summer gone

as the lost refrain

of an assassin song

Well I slide through town

a still and silent mist

till you can see right down

the killers you have kissed

And you may recall

in between the silences at home

a distant serenade

of an assassin song

In the shadow play

no history machine

in tensions untamed

the mysteries are green

Under bleeding skies

unobserved

you slip away at dawn

with the lonesome sound

of an assassin song
