Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Strapped to a rocket ignited
Last meal sits in your body
Gasoline turpentine gunpowder glycerine
Last rights given to you
Genuflecting with a torch
Punishment outweights the crime
Explode into the desert sky
Say your goodbyes
That was your life
You'll pay all your penance
Laser cannon deth sentance
Die
I'm a rocket
A roman candle
A fucking missile
On my way to hell
I'm a martyr
A saint of sinners
And you will fear me in my deth
There's no one that can make me
Repent the things I've done
Evil is my prime objective
I explode and bestow your deth
I'm a rocket
A fucking weapon
Of mass destruction
Destroy the planet
My lawyer fucked me
I won't get pardoned
The devil waits with fear in his eyes
Seeth blood blazing the sky
Strapped to the mode of destruction
Cell-mates explode in front
Barbequed bone fragments bloodied face
Blistered skin
Last moments near you now
As the countdown proceeds
Punishment is your reward
Laugh as they collect your life
Say your goodbyes
That was your life
You'll pay all your penance
Laser cannon deth sentance
The lyrics to Laser Cannon Deth Sentence by Dethklok describe the punishment of a criminal who is about to be executed by a rocket-powered missile. The lyrics are graphic in their descriptions of the violence that takes place, from the last meal sitting in the criminal's body to the explosions in the desert sky. The chorus repeats the phrase "say your goodbyes, that was your life, you'll pay all your penance, laser cannon deth sentence," driving home the message that this is a very final sentence that will be carried out without mercy.
The verses are narrated from the perspective of the rocket missile, which is personified as a martyr and a saint of sinners who has a prime objective of causing destruction. The rocket missile revels in the power it holds, with no one able to make it repent for the things it has done. The bridge describes the gruesome aftermath of the missile's explosions, with cell-mates exploding and bone fragments barbequed. The lyrics end on a note of grim humor, as the rocket missile declares that the devil himself is waiting with fear in his eyes.
