Lyrics
0:01Today at 15 45 hours
0:07India conducted 3 underground nuclear tests
0:11In the bogram range
0:24Hope falls softly from your hands
0:29Dreams burn deap beneath the land
0:35Time casts shadows overall
0:39Sweating fever rain or river
0:42Brushing winds beneath your call
0:46Broken skin distant fear
0:48Shattered worlds of endless tears
0:51Hidden fires distant lies
0:54Burried hopes beneath the cries
0:57Broken skin distant fears
0:59Silent lips so far so near
1:09Silence it is every hope apart
1:15Two flames burn deep beneath one heart
1:21Teardrops flow faster with the tide
1:25Raging over calmer waters
1:28As the timeless land divides
1:31Broken skin distant fear
1:34Shattered worlds of endless tears
1:36Hidden fires distant lies
1:39Burried hopes beneath the cries
1:42Broken skin distant fears
1:45Silent lips so far so near
1:57Broken distant shattered
2:02Hidden distant burried
2:08Broken distant silent
2:18Cold games repeat on eastern shores
2:23Strong winds blow over colder wars
2:29Proud lips stay silent in the rain
2:34There are half a million voices in the song without a name
2:39Broken distant shattered
2:45Hidden distant burried
2:51Broken distant silent
3:05Shattered
3:08Hidden distant burried
3:14Broken distant silent
3:18(so far so close)
3:28Shattered
3:31(there are half a million voices)
3:34Shattered
3:38Distant
3:39Shattered
3:43(there are half a million voices)
3:47Just 5 miles from indias nuclear test site
3:50Children play in the shade of the village water tank
3:52Here in the rajahstan desert people say theyre proud their country showed their nuclear capability
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) 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
