Executioner
Guillotine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Fire is burning in his eyes
They say he's crazy, but that's just a lie
He doesn't care if you live or die
He likes to torture, He laughs when you cry

He, is the Executioner!
He will soon take your life
He, is the Executioner!
So now prepare to die

A crowd is gathered to witness the death
There is no tomorrow, so take your last breath
It's too late to scream and too late to cry
The time has come soon you will die!

He is the Executioner
He will soon take your life




He is the Executioner
So now prepare to die

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Guillotine's song, Executioner, describe a violent and sadistic individual who derives pleasure from causing pain and suffering. The opening line, "The fire is burning in his eyes", paints a vivid picture of his intense and unwavering focus on his gruesome task. Despite being labeled as 'crazy', he remains indifferent to the value of life and death, choosing instead to revel in the suffering and anguish of his victims. The line "He likes to torture, He laughs when you cry" underscores the sadistic nature of this character, as he not only inflicts pain but also finds joy in the distress of his victims.


The chorus reinforces the idea that the Executioner is determined to end the lives of his victims, and they must prepare to meet their fate. The crowd that has gathered to witness the Executioner's work only adds to the sense of impending doom; their presence gives an eerie sense of societal acceptance of such violent practices. The line "There is no tomorrow, so take your last breath" seems to suggest that death is an inevitable and inescapable eventuality facing each individual who encounters the Executioner.


This song is a sharp commentary on the concept of capital punishment, and how it can be perceived as a violent act of retribution rather than a measure of justice. It raises the question of whether it is right for an individual to derive pleasure from meting out punishment and whether society should allow such people to hold positions of power. The dark and violent themes of this song are sure to leave a lasting impression on any listener.
