I rest on a velvet red tray
Waiting for the light of the day
A thin line of steel in the dark
Ready to leave a deep mark
The glove slides on a steady hand
A secret known in every land
The target walks a crowded street
The plan is now a work complete
Silver fiber wire tight and thin
Where the quiet games begin
One quick pull and the breath is gone
Before the breaking of the dawn
I felt the grip of a leather palm
The air was heavy and too calm
A sudden lunge from a blind spot
The knot is tied and the rope is hot
The glove slides on a steady hand
A secret known in every land
The target walks a crowded street
The plan is now a work complete
Silver fiber wire tight and thin
Where the quiet games begin
One quick pull and the breath is gone
Before the breaking of the dawn
From Gama's halls to the frozen snow
The hidden blade is the only show
I wrap around a throat of gold
A story that remains untold
The handler speaks in a low tone
A killer walking all alone
No name to keep and no face to show
Just a cold wind that starts to blow
Silver fiber wire tight and thin
Where the quiet games begin
One quick pull and the breath is gone
Before the breaking of the dawn
I slide back home in a hidden sleeve
A ghostly trick that few believe
Clean as a whistle and sharp as glass
Watching the heavy moments pass
Silver fiber wire tight and thin
Where the quiet games begin
One quick pull and the breath is gone
Before the breaking of the dawn
Silver fiber wire
Cold as winter fire
