Descending Blade

Lie in wait for the target
Stalking down the prey
I’ve come to collect the price on your head
A mission to assassinate
Watching in the night
With a telescopic sight
Look to the left
Look to the right
I am always right behind
Scanning through the infrared
Operate in secrecy
The orders are given by encrypted transmission
Now we know the target’s name
Descending blade
On your back like a shadow
In position for the kill
Waiting for the moment to strike
And it might be tonight
Everywhere you go
I see you through my scope
All your dreams, all your hope
Disappear in the gunsmoke
Now closing in with sharpened knives
Death comes before the pain
Another laceration, with surgical precision
And their blood is washed away by the rain
Descending blade
Just try to run
'Cause we will find you all the same
By poison of the viper
Or bullet of a sniper
They are never seen again
No more
Descending blade
Descend!
Just remember, the blade has a second edge
I see my own face in the crosshairs
A red dot between my eyes
There’s only one second 'til the instant when I die
I never saw the bullet
Never felt the impact
Just a sound of the rifle’s crack
And everything went black
