Shelter
Celtus Lyrics

Day after day, night after night,
Tirelessly enduring this violent turbulence every day and every night,

Under a bloody sky
The sky is stained with the bloodshed from the conflict

Bullets fall like rain
The ceaseless sound of bullets firing is heard like a continuous discordant precipitation of rain

I'm caught in the cross-fire
I'm trapped in the middle of a dangerous altercation

Of mad men, fear and lies
The dispute is between unstable individuals conflicting through false ideas and emotions

This is no honeymoon picture postcard,
This situation is far from a scenic and romantic getaway

I'm sending from the battlelines
This is a message being sent from the front lines of a battle

Lines are drawn
Boundaries are set

On each side of the streets
People are divided into opposing groups

The neighbours are strangers here
The once familiar people in this area are now unrecognizable strangers

They never speak
The former community members refuse to communicate with one another

And the smoke in the sky above
The air is filled with smoke and haze

Is blotting out the sun
The sky is too dark, and there is too much smoke to see the sun

There are hard times up ahead
Things will get harder in the future

For our daughters and our sons
The problems of the present will impact the future generations

And all the kings and their desires
Leaders and their ambitions

Making life's blood fan the fire
Using violence to fuel their ambitions and controlling the people with them

When all we want is shelter from the storm (shelter from the storm)
What we desire amidst this turmoil is safety and protection

Sweet kisses in our lover's arms
Love and affection that provide solace and security in this chaos

We all waiting for the storm to break
We are all waiting for the end of the conflict

And let the sunlight shine within
To see the light and end of this challenging phase

And pray to God we see a new horizon
We all hope for a better and brighter future

In no-mans land,
In an area where no ownership is claimed

Where no-one gives a damn
Where no one cares or puts in any effort

And the lives are blowing away
Lives are lost into oblivion

On the winds of deserts sands
Out of sight, as if blown away by the winds of the desert

And inside my heart I know
Deep down, I am aware and conscious of the situation

Stirs a quiet pain
It causes a subtle, unnoticeable anguish

'cos there's nothing left to lose
Because there is already nothing more for us to lose

And there's nothing left to gain
There is nothing left for us to take

When all we want is shelter from the storm (shelter from the storm)
The only thing we all crave for is safety and protection

Sweet kisses in our lover's arms
Love and closeness that can shelter us from the chaos around us

We all waiting for the storm to break
We are all waiting for the end of the conflict

And let the sunlight shine within
To see the light and end of this challenging phase

And pray to God we see a new horizon
All we hope for is a new, better future

And let the sunlight shine within
To see the light and end of this challenging phase

And pray to God we see a new horizon
All we hope for is a new, better future
