Charlotte Gainsbourg - Time of the Assassins

I walk in a line
I see where I'm going
I turn inside out
The days that I've known
I face to 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
