The Assassin Lyrics


Alone in the tower where windows are closed

lives a man who they fear

Trapped by cruel fate

by an oath he has sworn

Bound to the darkness though his soul still longs for light

His eyes still seek the truth

in the things that are black

But inside his soul

the burning light is back

Across the rooftops

Knife in his hands

Black as the shadow of the night

As silent as the wind

he moves from roof to roof

Until he sees the man

of whom he's looking for

King's faithful servant

grinding his knife

In his dark chamber he awaits for the night

Black heart, black mind

but the deed must be done

to kill the victim of his king's crooked lies
