Lyrics:
he sound of gunfire echoes through the night
The killing and hatred is a terrible sight
Reports come in of a heavy attack
Message received, we’re moving back
Preparations are made for the journey back
Hints for survival, supplies are packed
No more nights in this eternal hell
Destination is simple, we’re moving out
Killing time - your life’s on the line
Killing time – your time to kill
Killing time – what you say
Killing time - yeah, killing time
The silence is over, they attack us again
The killing and hatred drive me insane
Reports come in of a savage attack
Message received, we’re moving out
Ingenuity is needed to keep us alive
No time for cowardice, it’s kill and survive
Like the killer kid with the switchblade knife
One nasty word and he’ll take your life
Killing time - your life’s on the line
Killing time – your time to kill
Killing time – what you say
Killing time - yeah, killing time
The sound of gunfire echoes through the night
The killing and hatred is a terrible sight
Reports come in of a savage attack
Message received, we’re moving back
Preparations are made for the journey back
Hints for survival, supplies are packed
No more nights in this eternal hell
Destination is simple, we’re moving out
Killing time - your life’s on the line
Killing time – your time to kill
Killing time – what you say
Killing time - yeah, killing time
