Killing Time - Metallica

Album: Garage Inc.

genre: Metal

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.
