Broken Skin — текст песни (Nitin Sawhney)

Today at 15.45 hours

India conducted 3 underground nuclear tests

In the bogram range



Hope falls softly from your hands

Dreams burn deap beneath the land

Time casts shadows overall

Sweating fever, rain or river

Brushing winds beneath your call



Broken skin, distant fear

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, it is 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 fear

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 games repeat on eastern shores

Strong winds blow over colder wars

Proud lips stay 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 close)

Shattered

(there are half a million voices)

Distant

Shattered

Distant

Shattered

(there are half a million voices)



Just 5 miles from indias nuclear test site

Children play in the shade of the village water tank

Here in the rajahstan desert people say theyre proud their country showed their nuclear capability
