Still Spinning Shrapnel

歌詞

(All I hear are peace talks and battle cries) Everyone's losing, nobody's winning So run for your lives when 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 where 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 Hear my prayer from the Valley of the Shadow For a child in an unmarked grave Take my hand in the hour of darkness 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 battlefield 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 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?
