The Hitman - 'In'
1. The Zone
A final check, I’m ready to go.
Lookin’ sharp, zeroed in, entering the zone
shadowdancing with a burning desire
Bullets in the chamber of this gun for hire
Drifting far and wide,
Smoke in colored lights,
When the rush comes again,
Forgetting everything
Chorus
The zone
there is something more than this,
the zone,
Underneath the devil’s kiss.
Free your soul tonight,
Fly into paradise
In the back of my mind
the rushing of the tide
underneath the flow
the silent undertow​
​
2. Over the Edge
Sell me this security,
I’ll buy without a second thought,
Whatever keeps the dream alive,
without waking it up.
​
Tell me there is more than this,
wake my desire
fingertips, luscious lips,
pushing me over the line.
​
Leave it, leave it behind
​
Another secret rendezvous,
Somewhere lost in time
Far beyond this bordertown
The wasteland of my mind
Chorus
Leave it, leave it behind…
Let the moment carry you away…
Falling through the cracks of the day
​​​​​
Yeah, I’m crossing the line
Just in and out
I will get what’s mine
I’ll take what I need
Just a ghost passing by
Fulfil all my needs
Then a final goodbye​​​
​
3. The Train
Something is shining it’s luring me into the night
Can’t hide from those eyes and the smile of a life so exotic, erotic, the luxury’s blowing my mind
I cannot resist in the distance, her eyes shining bright like diamonds ignite a black light behind my eyes as I slowly go blind
Moving in close she’s spinning and turning and throwing a smile that sets fire to water the queen of desire the slave of the devil the goddess of fire and ice.
Her red lips seduced me as she caught my eyes, the skin of her breast and the touch of her flesh, caught in the game of desire and shame as I’m spinning into a web of lies.
It’s circled the earth it’s been watching and waiting for a silence to fade in, a window to break, for the lips and the tongue that would summon the fall of the night
Come with me it will all be okay, she whispered as the world fell away, I just followed, hypnotized, failing to see behind her eyes
She gracefully lead the way, I was always one step behind, blind, oblivious, unaware, stepping over the the line
​​
Chorus
There is nothing left, and there is nothing right
There’s no turning back, I’m moving out of sight
​
The nightmare began, cause she sold me a ride on a train that is covered with stains as it won’t stop at nothing and it won’t lead to nowhere.... still I hold all my questions inside.
Moving slowly at first never thought of escape, there was no need, till it picked up the pace. Carried away there’s only one track, no one who told me there ain’t no way back
So I settled for the ride.. and the money and the thrill, no questions asked, why finish last, I’m going for the kill​​​​
​​
Like a lion, I prawl across the lands.
Devour all in my path
Remorse, I burn it with desire and denial
Your blackened heart, I’ll furnish it with……gold​​​
​
4. Changes
These changes are forever
they own the best of me
The station’s far behind now, It waits in silence
Like my memories
Neon light moves over me,
And finds a shade inside.
Finds an opportunity, inside of me
In a place I’ve left a place for it to hide.
​
I walk out, to an open place, where my new office scrapes the sky
with the promise someday soon, so will I
​
EHM, With a couple of keystrokes, the scratch of a pen. I’ll make you an offer, you can’t refuse, when you’re lost and there’s nothing, nothing to lose. I’ll be around waiting, my invisible hand, like a gun for sale when the night closes in.
​​​
I’m in, I made it. I’m passing by, but still prepared to fight kill and die to take what’s coming to me, to take what’s mine, and leave the train just before the end of the line. But there’s a void, a rupture, something leaking away, from the ruins of the city, the remains of the day, Into the desert, that cries for rain, to come and quench the thirst and wash away the stains.
​
They’re in, they made it, they’ve made me stay, still not sure what gave me away, maybe to eager maybe to vain, maybe to hungry, for playing the game
Yet slowly but surely, they’re taking me in, doing things I used to consider a sin,
but I’ve never seen it from this point of view, the top of the world has its’ own set of rules.
​
5. The Hitman
Knowingly
deceitfully
Silence me
In the silence of the night,
And eyes behind shades
The left hand doesn’t know the right
As lights slowly fade
With the wink of an eye,
And a briefcase changing hands,
We stop this way of life,
from coming to an end.
Chorus
Cause I’m a hitman, it’s what I do best,
I don’t think twice, and I don’t second guess.
there’s no point, but a hollow one
Inside of every frozen heart, there’s a loaded gun
somewhere in a private room
1 and 1 is three,
Like a magazine slides into the gun
And fits so perfectly
’s a loaded gun
When your little world comes down,
You know that’s where I will be
To restore the reign of silence,
The silence of the sea,
Run....​
