I am a human rocket
On a mission of deployment
I've been cocked and loaded
Ready for the culmination

I am a human missile
Guided by a secret agenda
That commands my every thought and deed
And wills me on my way

I am a human rocket
On a mission of redemption
I've been cocked and loaded
Primed by everything I know

I am a human missile
Guided by a secret voice
That commands my every action
And wills me on my way

There is no turning back
There are no second thoughts
First things first and all things fair
"Be it love or war", they say

There is no plan named B
On the land, in the air, or on the sea
This is what's supposed to be
My duty now awaits me

I am a human rocket
On a mission of instruction
I've been primed and programmed
Since the beginning of time

I am a human missile
Guided by a secret master
That commands my every motion
And wills me on my way

I've found my target
I've reached my co-ordinates
I'm set to detonate and resonate
The final poem I will create

I've made a video
It tells a story, oh
I guess it's time to go
Don't forget to rewind

I am a human rocket
On a mission of destruction
I've been locked and loaded
And ready for the confirmation

I am a human missile
Guided by a secret perfection
That commands my full conviction
And wills me on my way

Large parts of the experience
Will go by unnoticed, we are all
Distracted by the lights and sounds
Of everything and nothing

Do you remember the breath you took
When they let you off the hook
And sent you swimming away
Back into your cell?

I am a human rocket
On a mission of reduction
I've been cocked and loaded
Since the dawn of time

I am a human missile
Guided by a secret voice
That commands my every thought and deed
And wills me on my righteous way

    In short; "Human Rocket" = Suicide BomberSomeone who was subjected to water-boarding ("Do you remember the breath you took when they let you off the hook") and subsequently released, is seeking revenge. He is moments away from setting off his explosives as he sings ("I'm set to detonate and resonate") and talks about having left behind a video that "tells a story", as suicide bombers often do. He also refers to being guided by a "secret agenda" from a "secret voice", a "secret master" & a "secret perfection" (one would presume Allah) who commands his "every thought & deed", his "every action", his "every motion" and "wills him on his way". This song does not glorify suicide bombers in any way. However, it does represent probably one of the most tangible examples behind the theory of "de-evolution"; what could be more regressive than the actions of suicide bombers willing to destroy themselves in the hopes they randomly kill others at the same time. Chilling lyrics when it first hits you, and laid on top of some truly infectious riffs... Don't forget to rewind!

    no reason to presume "Allah" the secret voice, secret perfection, can be any higher officer or ANY god that they follow. just because islam has the most suicide bombers doesn't mean you gotta narrow your focus so tightly.

    the song is not about any one group but how man first thinks he's up to something worthwhile when he sets out to achieve, but soon is twisted by his will, a perverted sense of duty and winds up causing more damage than good - the human rocket.
