about

'Dutch television was the inspiration for this song. When a murder occurs and the police states there apparently is no reason, they simply forget about ‘the thrill of the kill’, which is reason enough for someone to take a life. Even if the victim had no real enemies and was not crime related. Motive For Murder! was played live 5-10 times from June 29, 2002, until somewhere in 2004, while it was also done at two gigs singing along with the Reload Your Gun! cd on August 15, 2004, and April 29, 2005. It briefly reappeared on the set list on February 15, 2008. As for facts that nobody is interested in, I’d like to add that the rough title and the idea for this song were created in July 2000 for DeathCult, a one-man band black metal project I was doing at the time. The lyrics about murdering without a motive were written for the project, but a song was never composed around them. So I decided to use some of the lines in this Danny Ramirez song.'

lyrics

Unlike the facts they assume in the newsflash on tv
Or what you might read in press reports
There's always a reason to kill as you please
But it's illegal and besides it's against the law

Chorus:
There always will be a motive for murder
And that's the satisfaction for oneself
The thrill of the kill, to be the usurper
And separate the living from the dead

The night is at hand and a full moon ascends
When you feel the need to end someone's days
The gun in your hand is your only friend
The moon above your head will lead the way

Chorus
