Time of the Assassins Lyrics

I walk in a line
I see where I'm going
I turn inside out
The days that I've known
I face to myself
And give up the ghost
I turn in my mind
What time already knows

In the time of the assassins
They say hallelujah
It doesn't take a miracle
To raise a heart from the dead

I sift through the ash
I look for a sign
I open the wound
That keeps me in line
The shoulder that turns
The flame that goes out
The chapter I close
There's no point to it now

In the time of the assassins
They say hallelujah
It doesn't take a miracle
To raise a heart from the dead
And can something change
But still feel the same
The beginning's the end
I start all over again

In the time of the assassins
They say hallelujah
It doesn't take a miracle
To raise a heart from the dead

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
