Tekster: Skyclad. Still Spinning Shrapnel.

All I hear are peace talks and battle cries
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
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
Neighbor fighting neighbor, 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
Neighbor loving neighbor 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

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
While there's someone left to save
