East Timor - Morten Harket (摩腾·哈克特)[00:00:00]
Sandalwood trees are evergreen[00:00:20]
Cut them down[00:00:25]
Plant coffee beans[00:00:26]
Build no schools[00:00:30]
Construct no roads[00:00:31]
Mark them as fools[00:00:35]
Let ignorance rule[00:00:37]
Leave them stranded on their island[00:00:39]
Treat them to the tune of silence[00:00:45]
Red is the cross that covers out shame[00:00:50]
Every kingdom every land[00:00:56]
Has it's heart in the common man[00:01:01]
Silently the tide shifts the sand[00:01:07]
Bury my heart on east timor[00:01:22]
In coral sands[00:01:27]
On golden shores[00:01:29]
Buried are those[00:01:32]
Who lived their lives[00:01:34]
No place to hide for[00:01:37]
Father and child[00:01:40]
Leave them stranded on their island[00:01:41]
Treat them to the tune of silence[00:01:47]
We shake the hands that kill and forgive[00:01:52]
Every kingdom every land[00:01:58]
Has its heart in the common man[00:02:04]
Silently the tide shifts the sand[00:02:09]
Bury my heart on east timor[00:02:34]
On barren graves[00:02:39]
Where flowers won't grow[00:02:42]
Blooms our red cross lovingly[00:02:44]
This nightingale deed[00:02:49]
Now we can be free[00:02:51]
Stranded on their island[00:02:54]
This army of the silent[00:03:00]
We toast our own goodwill and forget[00:03:04]
Every kingdom every land[00:03:14]
Has its heart in the common man[00:03:18]
Silently the tide shifts the sand[00:03:24]
