lirik lagu skyclad - still spinning shrapnel
all i hear are peace talks and battle cries.
everyone’s losing – n-body’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 bl–dy 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 – n-body’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 – n-body’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?
