Still Spinning Shrapnel — текст песни (Skyclad)

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 kill
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 kill,
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?
