Killing Time

Originally recorded by Sweet Savage (from the album Garage Inc.)

Back to Metallica Albums

Sound of gunfire comes through the night,

Killing and hatred, it's a terrible sight.

Reports come in of the heavy attack,

Message is seen, we're moving back.

*

Preparations are made for the journey back,

It's a survival, supplies are packed.

No more nights in this eternal hell,

Destination is simple, we move out.

*

Killing time - You left from the line.

Killing time - Your turn to kill.

Killing time - What do you say?

Killing time - Aaha, killing time.

*

And he knew what he needed to keep us alive,

No time for cowardice, kill and survive.

Like a killer kid with a switchblade knife,

Nasty word, he'll take your life.

*

The silence is over, they attack again,

Killing and hatred drive me insane.

Reports come in of a heavy attack,

Message is seen, we're moving back.

*

Killing time - You left from the line.

Killing time - Your turn to kill.

Killing time - What do you say?

Killing time - Aaha, killing time.

*

Sound of gunfire comes through the night,

Killing and hatred, it's a terrible sight.

Reports come in of a heavy attack,

Message is seen, we're moving back.

*

And he knew what he needed to keep us alive,

No time for cowardice, kill and survive.

Like a killer kid with a switchblade knife,

Nasty word, he'll take your life.

*

Killing time - You left from the line.

Killing time - Your turn to kill.

Killing time - What do you say?

Killing time - Aaha, killing time.
