Clutch - Guild Of Mute Assassins Lyrics
Organ grinder's henchmen shaking their coins in time-"Guild of Mute Assassins will convene at a quarter to nine."Behind the court house atop a scaffold stands a man with a bag for a face,"You will not have learned until I return to give my executioner the chase."The swinging of its censers, the silence of its membersOh, the Guild of Mute AssassinsFrom the places in-between that are so seldom seenOh, the Guild of Mute Assassins.Widow in the furrow with thimbles hasn't seen her face in yearsKneels into a puddled reflection to find it is just as she's feared.In the Garden the Archangel, sword above his head,"You will not return until you have learned what you've forfeited."The swinging of its censers, the silence of its membersOh, the Guild of Mute AssassinsFrom the places in-between that are so seldom seenOh, the Guild of Mute Assassins.Baby on a threshold with silver. Breath rises from its lipsBeam of yellow light from a doorway and the figure of a silhouette.In the cradle a wood stiletto rattles like a barrow of bones.Another journeyman with passion silently recites the oath.The swinging of its censers, the silence of its membersOh, the Guild of Mute AssassinsFrom the places in-between that are so seldom seenOh, the Guild of Mute Assassins.
