Assassin

Mohammed singh azad
Zindabad
No apologies
Not a shot in the dark
This is a warning
The sleeping tiger awakes each and every morning
The time is now right to burst the imperial bubble
My act of revenge is just a part of the struggle.
A bullet to his head won’t bring back the dead
But it’ll lift the spirit of my people!
We’ll keep on fighting
We’ve been a nation abused
Your stiff upper lip will bleed
And your pride will be bruised.
No apologies
Not a shot in the dark
This is a warning
The sleeping tiger awakes each and every morning.
We’ill keep on fighting
We’ve been a nation abused
Your stiff upper lip will bleed
And your pride will be bruised
The time is now right to burst the imperial bubble
And my act of revenge is just a part of the struggle.
Synchronise time
Vengeance will be mine
As I cross the curzon line into his mind
I will burn the trophies he owns
Symbols of a future postponed.
Mohammed singh azad
Zindabad!
A bullet to his head won’t bring back the dead
But it’ll lift the spirit of my people!
A bullet to his head won’t bring back the dead
But it’ll lift the spirit of my people!
I’ll shake hands with the hangman
I’ll wear the noose with pride
For unlike the british I’ve no crimes to justify
Pentonville will be my last place on earth
And death will return me to the land of my birth.
