A New Kind Of Assassin (song)
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… |
