Through the Eyes of a Killer
It was a nice night, cool and not bright
A perfect night for a stroll or a walk in the moon light
But not for I, tonight I have a mission
To hoist myself up into newspaper fame and fortune
My targets, inside this house of ancient time
Surrounded by a steel fence, and so I begin my crime
So nimble, I climb and hop the fence so quiet
And out comes my knife, as I move in closer to my targets
I see two of the four, in the living room
Chatting during commercials, not expecting doom
Another, his shadow from the kitchen
His shadow on the floor on his cell phone
The fourth, asleep? Well, let’s find out
Slowly I pick the lock, listening for a shout
Success I’m in! Quickly I shut the door.
I sneak toward the kitchen as I hear a “Whore!”
With a thud, I see the cell hit the counter
His eyes on the TV with a sigh, now begins the slaughter
Sneaking slowly and quietly up and behind
My hand over his mouth and his guts are slit outside.
I drag him backward my knife sliding between his ribs
His eyes dull, and the strain leaves his lips
I set his body down, there’s too much blood to hide
The two in the living room making loud noise as I turn a blind eye
Time to find the other, I start searching through the house
My ears sharp for a sound as I tip toe quieter than a mouse
And low and behold, my search prevailed
Upstairs a toilet flushed, his location revealed!
Quietly I sneak up the carpeted stairs
My hand on the door knob, anticipation in every hair
I feel it turn, I push hard on the door
I throw him back startled to the floor
Quickly I come in, the door shuts behind
And now another target is trapped with me inside
I tackle him, quick to land a blow
Stunned and confused from my hit to his head, it’s easy now
One small swing, and his throat is cut
Blood filling his lungs, my hand tightly holds his mouth shut
Soon he isn’t moving, now for the two downstairs
I walk down the stairs and into the living room where they still yell cheers
I duck down behind the couch, my next target to die
Quickly is spring out with my knife through his eye
The other one yells, and he pulls out a gun
Just as I dive back toward the stairs, he shoots at no one
I sit there and wait, counting bullets in my head
10, 11, 12, now he is dead
One swift move, I jump over the couch
Just as he’s reloading, my knife slices through his crotch
With his arm pinned, and my knife to his neck
I whisper my little secret threat
“Remember the girl, on the night in October?
The one your boys drugged then raped her?
Well, she happens to be an Assassins daughter
and I am the Assassin, I am her father”
with that testimony, I push the tip of my knife deep into his neck
the blood spraying like a river, he is sick
“To hell with you all, damned be thy name
Return back to hell, for hell has souls to claim
I am the judge and executioner, by blade I kill
For the righteous, and the condemned I won’t stand still
In the name of god, and before the jury
Witness the power of holy divine fury
Forever eternal, as long as there’s an early casket
For the holy ones judgment, arise the Assassin!”
