The phrase "Kirisute Gomen" is of Japanese origin. It means, roughly, "I apologize in advance for striking you down" and was often said by the samurai caste before they made their kill (see Kiri sute gomen for a more detailed description of the phrase). This links in with the lyric "We take their fucking heads".Fact|date=October 2008
