Assassin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
War is overdue
The time has come for you
To shoot your leaders down
Join forces underground
[Chorus]
Lose control
An increasing pace
Warped and bewitched
In time to erase
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Woah, yeah!
(Aim! Shoot! Kill your leaders!)
(Aim! Kill them all!)
[Verse 2]
Oppose and disagree
Destroy demonocracy
[Chorus]
Lose control
An increasing pace
Warped and bewitched
In time to erase
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
War is overdue
The time has come for you
To shoot your leaders down
Join forces underground
[Chorus]
Lose control
An increasing pace
Warped and bewitched
In time to erase
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Woah, yeah!
(Aim! Shoot! Kill your leaders!)
(Aim! Kill them all!)
[Verse 2]
Oppose and disagree
Destroy demonocracy
[Chorus]
Lose control
An increasing pace
Warped and bewitched
In time to erase
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
[Outro]
Go!
Go!

Genius Annotation
Released in 2006 on the album Black Holes and Revelations, the song goes along with the album themes and it describes the origin of an assassin, whose main goal is to shoot his “leaders down”.
An extended version called “Assassin (Grand Omega Bosses Edit)” was released later that year as a B-side to the single for “Knights of Cydonia”. This extended version has an additional instrumental interlude and a bridge with extra lyrics that expand on the original’s themes.
