Xinjiang (Uyghur: شىنجاڭ, ULY: Shinjang; Mandarin pronunciation: [ɕíntɕjɑ́ŋ]; Chinese: 新疆; pinyin: Xīnjiāng), officially the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, is an autonomous region of China in the northwest of the country. It is the largest Chinese administrative division, the 8th largest country subdivision in the world, spanning over 1.6 million km2. It contains the disputed territory of Aksai Chin administered by China. Xinjiang borders the countries of Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. The extremely rugged Karakoram, Kunlun, and Tian Shan mountain ranges occupy much of Xinjiang's borders, as well as its western and southern regions. Xinjiang also borders Tibet Autonomous Region and the provinces of Gansu and Qinghai. The most well-known route of the historical Silk Road ran through the territory from the east to its northwestern border. In recent decades, abundant oil and mineral reserves have been found in Xinjiang, and it is currently China's largest natural gas-producing region.
Beyond the visible world, a mans body
Has chosen his place to live
His whole life was dead
And dead he chose to live
I will sing him a true song
A man like him must need
Im the dust, hes the sea
Singing out a song
Singing out for free
Singing for stranger
Because you are forsaken
Like all those little gods
Because good and bad
Are crying for desire
So I exchange my body for a song
So I exchange my body for a song
So I exchange my body for a song
Thats why we all
Beyond the world
We chose to live
Thats what we need
Singing free
Singing free
Thats what we need
Because you are forsaken
Like all those little gods up high
Because good and bad
Are crying for desired ones
So I exchange my body for a song
So I exchange my body for a song
So I exchange my body for a song
A little while, a little while
Thats why we all
Beyond the world
We chose to live
Thats what we need
Singing free
Singing free
