Just Killing Time

Black Label Society

Ringleader Zakk Wylde is certainly no stranger to the scene, and he carries a resume many a six-stringer would die for. At the age of fourteen, Zakk’s attention started to turn away from sports and towards the guitar. He took lessons from several instructors and eventually delved into the highly-disciplined world of classical music, as well as that of his favored rock and metal gods, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen and AC/DC. After paying his dues in local bands, the  New Jersey native was discovered by rock photo legend Mark Weiss and Dave Feld, who scored the young lad an audition with metal godfather Ozzy Osbourne of Black Sabbath fame. Zakk landed the gig and became the newest heir to rock's greatest guitar dynasty, preceded by maestros Randy Rhoads, Jake E. Lee, Brad Gillis and Tony Iommi. These were big shoes to fill, but Zakk met all songwriting and recording expectations, leading the charge through several multi-platinum Ozzy albums, including No Rest For The Wicked, No More Tears, the Grammy-winning Live And Loud and Ozzmosis. Like Ozzy, Zakk was quite the showman.

1- Fill in the blanks.

 

I sit  __________ , I feel end has begun.

It seems my days, now ________ the setting sun.

So many ________, that I have been.

This ride that was long, seems so ______  in terms of now and

then.

 

______ For all that has been,

(ohh) And all ____  is,

(ohh) And all that's to be.

Lord I'm just _______  time, and time's killing me.



2- Give the meanings.

 

Dead man breathing, just taking up space.

Calloused and weathered, like the lines on ones face.

Dead man breathing, my conscience is bare.

The lining of my soul is torn, yet I no longer care

(ohh) For all that has been,

(ohh) And all that is,

(ohh) And all that's to be.

Lord I'm just killing time, time's killing me.

(solo)

 

(ohh)For all that has been,

(ohh)And all that is,

(ohh)And all that's to be.

I'm just killing time, time's killing me

Just Killing Time Lyrics

I sit reflecting
I feel the end has begun
It seems my days now mirror the setting sun
So many places that I have been
This ride that was long seems so short in terms of now and then

For All that has been
And All that is
All that's to be
Lord, I'm just killing time
And time's killing me

Dead man breathing, just taking up space
Calloused and weathered like the lines on one's face
Dead man breathing, my conscience is bare
The lining of my soul is torn yet I no longer care

For All that has been
And All that is
All that's to be
Lord, I'm just killing time
And time's killing me

For All that has been
And All that is
Ohh All that's to be
Lord, I'm just killing time
time's killing me
