Lyrics:
I walk in a line, I see where I'm goin'
I turn inside out the days that I've known
I faced it myself and give up the ghost
I turn in my mind what time already knows
In the time of the assassins, they say hallelujah
It doesn't take a miracle to raise a heart from the dead

I sift through the ash, I look for a sign
I open the wound that keeps me in line
The shoulder that turns, the flame that goes out
The chapter I close - there's no point to it now
In the time of the assassins, they say hallelujah
It doesn't take a miracle to raise a heart from the dead

And can something change and still feel the same?
The beginning's the end, I start all over again
In the time of the assassins, they say hallelujah
It doesn't take a miracle to raise a heart from the dead
