The Man in Black

A man with eyes so brown Walked into town A large dog in tow Who he is no one knows Wearing a suit of black Carrying a gun against his back A vest that will protect Everyone is suspect An absolute professional Leaves guilt in the confessional Never misses his mark Both in the light and the dark When he is near You will know fear Staring at you with a sneer He holds nothing dear He is not a spy An assassin in disguise Family and friends don’t exist He can’t take the risk In the shadows he must live Gold coin received the killing begins Once he has you as his target He will not bargain The killing is in his blood Needs it like a drug Not satisfied unit it is done Gets a sense he has won
