Everyone seems to agree that the master is killed.
But what I believe what happens is the he says he's going to kill him for the puppet, and then the master realizes that he wants to be the puppet, so he turns him into the "Puppet with the heart of gold". He puts the puppet man on the shelf until the show, that's where the verse:
"So I have the golden heart
Now only needing the voice of the master
Never feel hunger, never grow older
My dream was to be a star in a real puppet show"
Comes into play. he's waiting for the master to do the show. after awhile, the puppet man doesn't want to be constantly controlled by the master, so he asks to be a man again, but the master refuses. The master, then, uses a knife to mutilate the puppet man and never use him again.
As HighFlyer15 said, its sort of a reverse Pinocchio, only a lot more darker.
