Broken Skin

Nitin Sawhney

Today at 15.45 hours
India conducted 3 underground nuclear tests
In the In the Pokhran Range.

Hope falls softly from your hand
Dreams burn deep beneath the land
Time casts shadows overall
Sweating fever, rain or river
Rushing winds beneath your call 

Broken skin, distant fears
Shattered worlds of endless tears
Hidden fires, distant lies
Burried hopes beneath the cries
Broken skin, distant fears
Silent lips, so far, so near 

Silence, tears every hope apart
Two flames burn deep beneath one heart
Teardrops flow faster with the tide
Raging over calmer waters
As the timeless land divides 

Broken skin, distant fears
Shattered worlds of endless tears
Hidden fires, distant lies
Burried hopes beneath the cries
Broken skin, distant fears
Silent lips, so far, so near 

Broken, distant, shattered
Hidden, distant, burried
Broken, distant, silent 

Cold gain repeats on eastern shores
Strong winds blow over colder wars
Proud lips stays silent in the rain
There are half a million voices in the song without a name 

Broken, distant, shattered
Hidden, distant, burried
Broken, distant, silent 

Shattered
Hidden, distant, burried
Broken, distant, silent 

(So far so near)
Shattered
(There are half a million voices)
Distant
Shattered
Distant
Shattered
(There are half a million voices) 

Just five miles from India's nuclear test site
Children play in the shade of the village water tank
Here in the Rajahstan desert people say they're proud their country shown its nuclear capability
