(derek dick, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley)
I am the assassin, with tongue forged from eloquence
I am the assassin, providing your nemesis
On the sacrificial altar to success, my friend
Unleash a stranger from a kiss, my friend
No incantations of remorse, my friend
Unsheathe the blade within the voice, my friend
My friend, my friend, my friend
I am the assassin
Who decorates the scarf with the fugi knot
Who camouflaged emotion in a thousand yard stare
Who gouged the notches from the family tree
Who hypnotised the guilt in career rhythm trance
Assassing, assassing, assassing, assassing
Listen to the blade, feel the blade!
Listen as the syllables of slaughter cat with calm precision
Patterned frosty phrases rape your ears and sow the ice incision
Adjectives of annihilation
Bury the point beyond redemption
Venomous verbs of ruthless candour
Plagiarise assassins fervour
Apocalyptic alphabet casting spell
The creed of tempered diction
My friend, your friend the assassin
My friend, your friend the assassin
A friend in need is a friend that bleeds
A friend in need is a friend that bleeds
Let bitter silence infect the wound
Let bitter silence infect the wound
I am the assassin, my friend
I am the assassin, my friend
I am the assassin, my friend
You were a sentimental mercenary in a free fire zone parading a hollywood conscience
You were a fashionable objector with a uniform fetish
Pavlovian slaver at the cash till ring of success
A non com observer
I assassin the collector
Defector
So you resigned yourself to failure, my friend
And I emerged the chilling stranger, my friend
To eradicate the problem, my friend
Unsheathe the blade within the voice, within the voice
Within the voice, within the voice
And what do you call assassins who accuse assassins anyway, my friend?
The lyrics ASSASSING of MARILLION is also present in the album Fugazi (1984)
Marillion è un gruppo musicale britannico di rock progressivo formatosi ad Aylesbury nel 1977. La formazione originale comprendeva Steve Hogarth (voce), Mark Kelly (tastiere), Pete Trewavas (basso) e Ian Mosley (batteria). Il loro sound, caratterizzato da melodie intricate, testi poetici e un'atmosfera spesso malinconica, ha conquistato un seguito fedele nel corso degli anni. Dopo il successo del primo album, *Script for a Jester's Tear* (1983), la band ha attraversato diverse fasi di evoluzione, con cambiamenti nella formazione e sperimentazioni musicali. Il loro periodo più popolare è stato negli anni '80, con album come *Fugazi* (1984) e *Misplaced Childhood* (1985). Negli anni '90, Marillion ha continuato a registrare e esibirsi, mantenendo un forte legame con i fan. Steve Hogarth è diventato il frontman principale nel 1989, portando la band verso una nuova era musicale. Alcuni dei loro brani più rappresentativi sono *Kayleigh*, *Incommunicado* e *The Leavers*. Marillion rimane oggi una delle band progressive più influenti e amate al mondo.
