Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
We'll meet in your final hour
A perfect moment to die
The contract is due-overdue
The only reason why
Fell the reapers presence
Waiting one step behind
Eternal dark - eternal light
Your sentence of death has been signed
Faster than a gust of wind
No time for you to repent
You cannot run, you cannot hide
The target is in my sights
Assassins
Lords of shadows
Angels of death
Assassins
Bringers of woe
Say your prayers
And take your final breath
Deadly vipers - silent killers
The trap in the dark you won't see
Your futile life is about to end
The horrors became reality
Masters of every weapon
Dwelling in secrecy
Pulling the trigger - the bullets will fly
Nailing down your destiny
Your hear footsteps coming near
Terrorized in the grip of fear
Contorted muscles - I'm ready to strike
Hunter and pray in the night
Your angel of death is on your back
Ready to attack
A perfect moment to die
The contract is due-overdue
The only reason why
Fell the reapers presence
Waiting one step behind
Eternal dark - eternal light
Your sentence of death has been signed
Faster than a gust of wind
No time for you to repent
You cannot run, you cannot hide
The target is in my sights
Assassins
Lords of shadows
Angels of death
Assassins
Bringers of woe
Say your prayers
And take your final breath
Deadly vipers - silent killers
The trap in the dark you won't see
Your futile life is about to end
The horrors became reality
Masters of every weapon
Dwelling in secrecy
Pulling the trigger - the bullets will fly
Nailing down your destiny
Your hear footsteps coming near
Terrorized in the grip of fear
Contorted muscles - I'm ready to strike
Hunter and pray in the night
Your angel of death is on your back
Ready to attack
