Broken Skin |
| Today at 15.45 hours India conducted three |
| Underground nuclear tests in the Pokhran Range |
| Hope falls softly from your hands |
| Dreams burn deep 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, buried hopes beneath the cries |
| Broken skin, distant fears, silent lips, so far, so near |
| Silence, 'tis 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, buried hopes beneath the cries |
| Broken skin, distant fears, silent lips, so far, so near |
| Broken, distant, shattered |
| Hidden, distant, buried |
| 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, buried |
| Broken, distant, silent, shattered |
| Hidden, distant, buried |
| 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 five miles from India’s nuclear test site |
| Children play in the shade of the village water tank |
| Here in the Rajasthan desert people say they’re proud |
| Their country’s shown its nuclear capability |
