Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I used to be a killer
Best killer in the land
Killed women and children
Just as easy as a man
ย
Leave their mangled bodies
Nonchalantly at the door
But now I ain't got the stomach
For killing any more
ย
Made me lots of money
Was the best at my job
Never had to nine to five
Or cheat or steal or rob
ย
Just load up my gun
And leave them on the floor
But now I've lost my taste
For killing any more
ย
Something must be done
But it's all that I can do
What good is an assassin
Who just can't follow through
ย
She took me in her arms
When no one else would have me
Taught me how to throw the blade
And never let 'em have me
ย
Taught me how to shoot so straight
Without a moment's skill
She was the most beautiful thing
That I have ever killed
ย
Something must be done
But it's all that I can do
What good is an assassin
Who just can't follow through
ย
I used to be a killer
Murdered by the score
Now I just don't think
I can kill any more
