Shelter Time's Ticking Away lyrics

We gave into our passions but were never satisfied
And all the public pressure made us only live a lie
Gave into scripting persons who never wished our best
How much will we give in, till we become what we detest?

So I've gotta say, time's ticking away
I say, let's take success in our hands
Let's start taking command

All our short term pleasure is our driving force in life
Which leads us to more suffering, tragedy and vice
Everyone's a victim, only few are safe


So we must take control
Before we become total slaves
Let's start taking command of life

We're living this life like we watch TV, just see
I can't let this world react upon me, not me
Grab a hold of opportunity at any cost
