Rogue Assassin

[Verse 1]
I'm an Irishman that’s never been to Ireland
But the gift of the gab lies in my repartee with my friend Liam O'Brien
He and I are like brothers, same clouth cut in different colours
Enkindled a kinship 'til a hypocritical king up and ripped it from us
The innocents living in Lisbon didn’t do this
How can Achilles even live with this shit? As if they were insignificant zip
Cold killing, whole cities are ripped into bits, it seems the ability to think is a gift
Sinking a ship, then retreating back into the mist as if we didn't exist
I need to relieve the tension, my deep intention
Is to seek redemption, speak in sentences too bleak to mention
When I pledge allegiance every previous debt to Creeds
I've yet to leave, just ends effective immediately, left free to vent my grievances
To strengthen weakened links and heal the rifts
Between the people that should be free, but even me just feeling this is treasonous
If this is the Creed I don't believe in it, I'm leaving it
Even if it means that I'm a fugitive I'm feeling sick

[Chorus]
I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order
Giving no quarter
I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order
Going Rogue, then I'm going all out
I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order
Giving no quarter
I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order
Going Rogue, then I’m going all out

[Verse 2]
When even royalty is feeling raw you’ll see that loyalty is cheap
For the right pile of coins you'll leave your boy lying in a soiled heap
Such hypocrites just a little bit and I’m loathe to laugh
But how can you think that you're doing good roasting flesh and bones to ash?
There's a total lack of evidence 'cause no one yet invented photographs
So I asked the question no Assassin was supposed to ask
I’m a motormouth that goes and blows the gaff with social gaffes
But Eden's overgrown, it's only me that weeds and mows the grass
Ice breaker, life taker
Got a job to do, I'll die later
My faith in what's rights shaken
Maybe I should be more like Haytham
Slice blades in a liar's face
If he tries playing any mind games
But my heart's stayed in the right place
So my mind changed every five days
Read the far flames
See the fire blaze
In the fireplace
There's a charred face
It's a hard case trying to find the right way through a dark maze
When I'm facing it sideways, can't remember my name, am I Shay?
I can't say, but I know I'm chased
So I shan't stay, au revoir mate

[Chorus]
I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order
Giving no quarter
I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order
Going Rogue, then I'm going all out
I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order
Giving no quarter
I swear to uphold the principles of the Templar Order
Going Rogue, then I'm going all out
