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 time
