[Spoken: Lars Ulrich]
Okay
What'd you say?
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: James Hetfield]
The sound of gunfire echoes through the night
Killing and hatred is a terrible sight
Reports come in of the 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
[Chorus: James Hetfield]
(Killing time) Your life's on the line
(Killing time) Your turn to kill
(Killing time) What'd you say?
(Killing time) Ah, killing time
[Verse 2: James Hetfield]
Ingenuity 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, the attack began
Killing and hatred drive me insane
Reports come in of a heavy attack
Message received, we're moving back
[Chorus: James Hetfield]
(Killing time) Your life's on the line
(Killing time) Your turn to kill
(Killing time) What'd you say?
(Killing time) Killing time
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: James Hetfield]
The sound of gunfire echoes through the night
Killing and hatred is a terrible sight
Reports come in of a heavy attack
Message received, we're movin' back
Ingenuity 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
[Chorus: James Hetfield]
(Killing time) Your life's on the line
(Killing time) Your turn to kill
(Killing time) What'd you say?
(Killing time) Ah, killing time
