A New Kind Of Assassin is a song by James Ray And The Performance.

Its first appearance was on the Merciful Release single Dust Boat

launched in October 1989 under catalogue# MRAY11.

An album by James Ray And The Performance with the title A New Kind Of Assassin

does exist as well. Strange enough, this album was issued shortly after the Dust Boat single,

but does NOT feature the song.

A shorter and remixed version of the track was used on a Gothic Rock compilation,

released by Jungle Records in 1992, where it was called Assassin64.


For plenty more information see also James Ray's Official Website,

where an audio stream of this song is available for listening.

A still video of the track can in addition be found here...

An animated fan-produced video of Assassin64 is available here ...



Lyrics

Hold my body & feel my hand God in his own fine wisdom Gasoline & expertise will take your
There’s colours in the Western sky & Judgement Dreams away
There’s diamonds in the sand Playing with his children Own lives
We walk upon this big black world His lovers & his wives Wanna hear you pray
Hopeless to resist Watching as the colours turn to dust                 Hypocrites & profits
We talk about love & faith the blind In the sky Sons of revolution
Never kiss… Hoping & praying they’ll take their Prepare to meet this big black world

We got a new kind of assassin Prepare to lose your life
We walk upon the thin white line Get down on your knees they We got a new kind of assassin
Our judgement comes with fear We got a new kind of assassin We got a new kind of assassin
And every time we scream inside And he’s gunning for you… And he’s inside for you…
We pray that someone hears

We’ve got a new kind of assassin Lovers & prophets, disease & I don’t like the way it is
We’ve got a new kind of assassin The truth I don’t care for what is his
And he’s gunning for you… Never let your reasons take your You’ve got your problems

Dreams away Problems for your own
Sex & revolution when they sail We find ourselves in Cuba Well Jesus don’t love you
Across the water Waiting for a tv feature No Jesus don’t love you
Love & propaganda When we gonna realise No Jesus don’t love you
Only love & propaganda The choice is not our own No Jesus don’t love you
Under the white sky Johannesburg                 We got a new kind of assassin No Jesus don’t love you
The problem child We got a new kind of assassin When your reason comes home…
Got to cause a reason, And she’s inside you…
Got to find an end
We got a new kind of assassin
We got a new kind of assassin
And he’s gunning for you…
