Skyclad - Still Spinning Shrapnel lyrics

All I hear are peace talks and battle cries. Everyone's losing - nobody's winning, So run for your lives when the shrapnel's spinning. Pictures of the crippled - wounded on the frontline Someone else's problem - you're sitting on a landmine. When will we see reason? Sometimes I think we'll never Learn that children have the right to laugh - and dying is forever All I hear are peace talks and battle cries. No time for laughter - we're too busy dying, In this 'Devil's Playground' - bullets are flying. There's another star in heaven - and footprints on the moon So ignore the reign of terror - the bloody red monsoon. Neighbour fighting neighbour - oh see how quick they run To tear down the white flag and pick up the gun. Peace talks and battle cries - apathy can k** Put a price on human life - pay 'the butcher's bill'. Everybody's losing - nobody's winning, Run for your lives when the shrapnel's spinning. Hear my prayer from the Valley of the Shadow - For a child in an unmarked grave. Take my hand in the hour of darkness - While there's someone left to save. But you can't hear me - all you can hear are... Peace talks and battle cries - apathy can k**, Put a price on human life - pay 'the butcher's bill'. No time for laughter - we're too busy dying, In this 'Devil's Playground' where bullets are flying. I think about the children who have no hopes or homes, Born into a battlfield - war's all they've ever known. Neighbour loving neighbour - will that day ever come When we shake hands in friendship and survey the damage done. All I hear are peace talks and battle cries. Everyone's losing - nobody's winning, So run for your lives when the shrapnel's spinning. Hear my prayer from the Valley of the Shadow - For a child in an unmarked grave. Take my hand in the hour of darkness - While there's someone left to save. Why won't you help me? Why can't you hear me?
