Background information

Laser Cannon Deth Sentence is a song by Dethklok, and appears on the Dethalbum II


History[]

The song is about deathrow prisoners who are soon to be executed, in Dethklok's style of choice, by being strapped to missiles and shot with a laser cannon in mid-air.

Dethklok performed this song after being requested (by a large and well-known prison) to return to the public from their isolation after the attempted murder perpetrated by General Crozier and Cardinal Ravenwood. The economy had fallen dramatically and, to attempt to help, the prison wanted Dethklok to perform at a mass execution of criminals, and were so desperate for them to play, they allowed the band to pick the style of execution. Dethklok, being unable to refuse such an offer (Nathan yelling about how awesome it was), chose to execute the prisoners by strapping them to rockets, firing said rockets into the air, and shooting them with laser cannons.

The song is also available as downloadable content for Guitar Hero 5.


Lyrics[]

Fire

fire

fire

fire

fire

Fly hard into the night strapped to a rocket ignited

(Fire)

Last meal sits in your body

gasoline turpentine

gunpowder glycerine

(Fire)

Last rites given to you

genuflecting with a torch

(Fire)

Punishment outweighs the crime

explode into the desert sky

Say your goodbyes

that was your life

you'll pay all your penance

D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Die

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 this eyes

Unto the skies

(Fire)

See 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 Sentence

Say your goodbyes

that was your life

you'll pay all your penance
