Shadow Of An Assassin

Lyrics

Verse 1
[M] I came out the hinge crack cold
[F] Veil on my face, eyes gold
[M] Steps like rain on a rooftop tin
[F] You hear that hush when I slip back in
[M] Black thread coat, no name tag shown
[F] Moon in the glass, but I move alone
[M] One clean cut, then I'm gone from sight
[F] You chase my shadow through the smoke at night

Pre-Chorus
[M] Hold your breath
[F] Count to three
[M] Too late now
[F] You can't see me
[M] Heartbeat loud
[F] Then it drops
[M] One more round
[F] Then it stops

Chorus
[M+F] Shadow of an assassin (shadow of an assassin)
[M+F] Black silk blade, never asking (never asking)
[M+F] Run, run, run
[M+F] Hear that drum
[M+F] Shadow of an assassin

Verse 2
[F] I paint the walls with a silver grin
[M] Slip through the lock when the sirens spin
[F] Your alibi folds like cheap card stock
[M] My name's a cut when the minute hand stops
[F] Lace in the dark, but the pulse still hits
[M] I break your pride with a flick of the wrist
[F] We don't need mercy, we don't need light
[M] Just one last spark in a room full of knives

Pre-Chorus
[M] Hold your breath
[F] Count to three
[M] Too late now
[F] You can't see me
[M] Heartbeat loud
[F] Then it drops
[M] One more round
[F] Then it stops

Chorus
[M+F] Shadow of an assassin (shadow of an assassin)
[M+F] Black silk blade, never asking (never asking)
[M+F] Run, run, run
[M+F] Hear that drum
[M+F] Shadow of an assassin

Bridge
[F] If I vanish, follow the scar
[M] If I strike, you'll know who we are
[F] Soft voice, hard line, cold desire
[M] Dance with the danger, feed the fire
[M+F] Oh-oh, oh-oh
[M+F] Gone in a flash, then the room goes dark

Final Chorus
[M+F] Shadow of an assassin (shadow of an assassin)
[M+F] Black silk blade, never asking (never asking)
[M+F] Run, run, run
[M+F] Hear that drum
[M+F] Shadow of an assassin
