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 they're proud their country showed their nuclear capability
