Still Spinning Shrapnel Lyrics - 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?
