Theme
A surgical portrayal of a professional assassin, a 'ghost' operative stripped of identity through state-sponsored erasure. The track explores the concept of a human weapon—devoid of remorse or fingerprints—serving as a lethal instrument for powers that prefer to remain in the shadows. It acts as a thematic spiritual successor to 'Killing Is My Business', focusing on the cold efficiency of a man who exists outside of history and heroics.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One shot, one kill
No names, no remorse
Killing is his business... and it comes with deadly force
A ghost in a black book, that's been erased from the files
He has no fingerprints and the dead don't have smiles
[Chorus]
A knife, a garrote
It's silent and it's clean
C4, dynamite
You're blown to smithereens
Poison, or a pistol
No mercy in his veins
He's nobody's hero
[Verse 2]
His nerves are all twitching
His eyes are cold as lead
A razor blade in a head shape, and a bomb under the bed
No trial, no witnesses
No sense to confess
A black suited viper, with terror on his breath
[Chorus]
A knife, a garrote
It's silent and it's clean
C4, dynamite
You're blown to smithereens
Poison, or a pistol
No mercy in his veins
He's nobody's hero
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
They altered his face
With plastic surgery
They took away his dark texts
And burned all his ID
He's a myth, with a vengeance
He walks where nobody goes
His name is forbidden, it's what we'll never know
[Chorus]
A knife, a garrote
It's silent and it's clean
C4, dynamite
You're blown to smithereens
Poison, or a pistol
No mercy in his veins
He's nobody's hero
