about

'The words of this song are slightly based upon quotes by murderers Arthur Shawcross and Richard 'The Ice Man' Kuklinski. I used those words to write a slow song around them, and came up with the rest of them lyrics myself. Urge To Kill! is one of my favourite songs, ’cause of the feeling of despair that lies within the chords, melodies and lyrics that fits the song very well. Initially the song wasn’t planned to be part of the track listing of the Reload Your Gun!-cd, but I kept on hearing it in my head. March 12, 2002, the decision was made to replace the intended cd track I Am The Singing Psycho! with this one, and a couple of days later it got recorded. It was first heard in concert in 2002, and performed live regularly for quite some years. Gradually the song got played less often, but it was done at most of the Winter Dungeon! gigs of 2016-2017 as well as one gig in 2018, and returned on the set list for the 2021 gigs and the first one in 2022 and some 2023 dates.'

lyrics

Chorus:
When I feel the urge to kill
There is no returning
'Cause I know there's blood to spill
And all I feel is the yearning

No one knows what it feels like
This grim resentment inside
I'm about to lose my mind
The time is right to murder tonight

I don't feel (have) no compunction
'Cause what I lack is a conscience
And I really have no option
For bloodlust dwells within my unconscious

Chorus
