Mark Collie wrote this with the singer-songwriter Coley McCabe, who he was married to at the time, for the 2004 movie The Punisher starring Thomas Jane. Collie was cast as an assassin - a "rockabilly hitman" - named Harry Heck and performed this song in a diner, where he sings it to the character Frank Castle, making it eerily clear that he plans to kill him. "You know your days are numbered. Count 'em one by one," he sings, before telling him, "I can hear what you're thinkin'."
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I can hear what you're thinkin'
All your doubts and fears
And if you look in my eyes
In time, you'll find the reason I'm here
[Chorus]
And in time, all things shall pass away
In time, you may come back some day
To live once more or die once more
But in time, your time will be no more
[Verse 2]
You know your days are numbered
Count 'em one by one
Like notches in the handle of an outlaw's gun
You can outrun the devil if you try
But you will never outrun the hands of time
In time, there'll surely come a day
[Chorus]
In time, all things shall pass away
In time, you may come back some say
To live once more or die once more
But in time, your time will be no more
[Outro]
I can hear what you're thinkin'
