Metallica - Killing Time Lyrics






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.

    Killing and hatred, it's a terrible sight
    Reports come in of the heavy attack

    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 - aha, killing time
    And he knew what he needed to keep us alive
    No time for cowardice, kill and survive

    Awesome job, but one tiny correction...it's "message received, we're moving back". Thanks for doing this!

  15. A.... N....

    I've been listening to this since 1990/91 and I just now learned that Kirk is the only one singing backing vocals?!  Damn!

    A.... N....

    @*****
    Yeah, I just read it somewhere.  Oh well. lol

    A.... N....

    +A New Horizon They're probably both doing them, that happens live on various songs.

    A.... N....

    @- RascoCS -
    Yeah, probably.  I just got bad info. lol

    A.... N....

    both jason and kirk singing

    A.... N....

    It’s obvious that the louder/stronger one here is Jason. Kirk doesn’t have that grit and color in his voice.

  16. A.... K....

    One of their catchiest covers.
