Time's Ticking Away Lyrics - Shelter

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
