Still Spinning Shrapnel Lyrics

All I hear are peace talks and battle cries
All I hear are peace talks and battle criesEveryone's losing, nobody's winning
So run for your lives when the shrapnel's spinning
Everyone's losing, nobody's winning
So run for your lives when the shrapnel's spinningPictures 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 foreverAll I hear are peace talks and battle criesNo time for laughter, we're too busy dying,
In this 'Devil's Playground', bullets are flyingThere's another star in heaven and footprints on the moon
So ignore the reign of terror, the bloody red monsoon
Neighbor fighting neighbor, oh ,see how quick they run
To tear down the white flag and pick up the gunPeace 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 spinningHear 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 saveHear 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 arePeace 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 flyingI think about the children who have no hopes or homes
Born into a battlefield, war's all they've ever known
Neighbor loving neighbor will that day ever come
When we shake hands in friendship and survey the damage doneAll I hear are peace talks and battle criesEveryone's losing, nobody's winning
So run for your lives when the shrapnel's spinningHear 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 saveHear 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 saveHear 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
