Pleasure to Kill
Kreator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black was the hole were I laid
Stalking the city to seek out your blood
I love when it showers from my blade
Your body is so pretty but how will it look
When my perverted lust is stilled
No one to save you no parents or friends
Because they've already got killed
My only aim is to take many lives
The more the better I feel
My only pleasure is to hear many cries
From those tortured by my steel
The colour of your blood from your open body
Is all I wanted to see
Tasting the blood from your lips as you die
Means satisfaction to me
Pleasure to kill
Hear my heartbeat as you see me upon you
Tears in your eyes I do not care
Listen now to the motor of my chainsaw
Open your eyes don't be scared
Look into my eyes do you see any love?
The only thing is agony
Now I can't wait to give you the good pain
Die now and be free
My only aim is to take many lives
The more the better I feel
My only pleasure is to hear many cries
From those tortured by my steel
The colour of your blood from your open body
Is all I wanted to see
Tasting the blood from your lips as you die
Means satisfaction to me
Pleasure to kill
The lyrics of "Pleasure to Kill" by Kreator speak of the perverted and sadistic desires of a homicidal maniac. The song paints the picture of a serial killer who takes pleasure in murdering and torturing his victims. The chorus repeats the line "My only pleasure is to hear many cries from those tortured by my steel," which underscores the killer's twisted enjoyment of his brutality.
The verses describe the killer stalking the city at night, seeking out victims to satisfy his bloodlust. He enjoys the feel of their blood on his blades, and revels in the pain and terror of his victims. He speaks of his desire to take many lives, and how the more he kills, the better he feels.
The bridge section of the song features the killer using a chainsaw to torture his victim, and taunting them with the fact that he feels no love or remorse for what he is doing. The killer takes joy in the agony he can inflict on others, and reaches a point of total catharsis when he tastes their blood on his lips.

Now that my mission is done
Your body forgotten has been killed
I return to the cemetary
And my bloodlust is stilled
My coffin is open for me
I lay down and rest
Nothing will set me free
And so I kill until excess
Day turns to night as I rise from my grave
Black was the hole where I laid
Stalking the city to seek out your blood
I love when it showers from my blade
Your body is so pretty but how will it look
When my perverted lust is stilled
No one to save you no parents or friends
Because they've already got killed
My only aim is to take many lives
The more the better I feel
My only pleasure is to hear many cries
From those tortured by my steel
The colour of your blood from your open body
Is all I wanted to see
Tasting the blood from your lips as you die
Means satisfaction to me

I was born in 2001 but I’ve loved Kreator since I was a freshman in high school. I remember picking up the album on vinyl and that’s when my love for extreme metal began 😍
@thinkforyourself2109
When I was a teenager in the 80s I listened to this album non-stop. Still one of the best and heaviest thrash albums of all time, up there in the top dozen, along with Exodus, Slayer, Destruction, Possessed. The 80s was the first and in my opinion still the best decade of thrash.
@vinter39
i completely agree!
