Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Train of murder comin'
It longs to take your putrid
Blackened soul away from you
Your face will leave your rotting
Head in the early morning
Your guts will leave your corpse
Your spine will break and crack in two
It cannot be stopped.
The train is fueled by chopped
Bodies filled with sorrow
There is no tomorrow
Ticket is your life
Ended by a knife
Called the murdertrain
Eternity of pain
Oh yeah, you know what
I'm talking about
There is no escape but deth
Your life is just a
Murdertrain 'a comin'

I love that Mashpotatoe Johnson is so respected by Dethklok. Hope we see him in the movie.
General Sasha Elizabeth Waybright
Same, should’ve featured all (or most) of the characters we’ve come to know over the four seasons.
Big Bulli
Bro, Brendan really outdid himself on Skwissgar's solo. The absolute most insane shredding I've ever heard.
Michael Thomas

I look forward to continuing. I've missed this great band so much. Everyone who says to me: What are you? The metal is already outdated.
I answer: Metal does not rust, and rock will not die!
