Killing Time

Metallica · Garage Inc. [1998]

The sound of gunfire comes through the night

Killing and hatred, it's a terrible sight

Reports come in of a heavy attack

Message received, 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!

Move up to the line

Killing time!

Your turn to kill

Killing time!

What do you say?

Killing time!

I'm killing time!



And he knew what was needed to keep us alive

No time for cowardice, it's kill and survive

Like a killer kid with a switchblade knife

Nasty word, he'll take your life



The silence is over, the attack's began

Killing and hatred drive you insane

Reports come in of a heavy attack

Message received, we're moving back



Killing time!

Move up to the line

Killing time!

Your turn to kill

Killing time!

What do you say?

Killing time!

I'm killing time!



The sound of gunfire comes through the night

Killing and hatred, it's a terrible sight

Reports come in of a heavy attack

Message received, we're moving back



And he knew what was needed to keep us alive

No time for cowardice, it's kill and survive

Like a killer kid with a switchblade knife

Nasty word, he'll take your life



Killing time!

Move up to the line

Killing time!

Your turn to kill

Killing time!

What do you say?

Killing time!

I'm killing time!
