Lyrics
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 Hints on survival, supplies are packed No more nights in this eternal hell Destination is simple, we move out Killing time Your life’s on the line Killing time Your turn to kill Killing time What’d ya say? Killing time The killing time 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 again The killing and hatred, drive me insane Reports come in of a heavy attack Message received, we’re moving back Killing time Your life’s on the line Killing time Your turn to kill Killing time What’d ya say? Killing time 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 received, we’re moving 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 Killing time Your life’s on the line Killing time Your turn to kill Killing time What’d ya say? Killing time The killing timeOriginally released by Sweet Savage in 1981 as a B-side to the Take No Prisoners single.
