Marillion

Marillion are a British rock band, formed in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, in 1979. Their recorded studio output since 1982 is composed of seventeen albums generally regarded in two distinct eras, delineated by the departure of original frontman Fish in late 1988, and the subsequent arrival of replacement Steve Hogarth in early 1989. All four albums released with Fish were commercial successes, and the band released eleven Top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart, including 1985's "Kayleigh", which reached No. 2 and became their biggest hit single. more »

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
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 as the syllables of slaughter cat with calm precision 
Patterned frosty phrases rape your ears and sow the ice incision 
Apocalyptic alphabet casting spell the creed of tempered diction 
Adjectives of annihilation bury the point beyond redemption 
Venomous verbs of ruthless candour plagiarise assassins fervour 
A friend in need is a friend that bleeds
Let bitter silence infect the wound
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
I am the assassin
I am the assassin
And what do you call assassins who accuse assassins anyway, my friend?
