Nevermind

The war was lost The treaty signed I was not caught I crossed the line

I was not caught Though many tried I live among you Well disguised

I had to leave My life behind I dug some graves You'll never find

The story's told With facts and lies I had a name But never mind

Never mind Never mind The war was lost The treaty signed

There's truth that lives And truth that dies I don't know which So never mind

Your victory Was so complete That some among you Thought to keep

A record of Our little lives The clothes we wore Our spoons our knives

The games of luck Our soldiers played The stones we cut The songs we made

Our law of peace Which understands A husband leads A wife commands

And all of this Expressions of The Sweet Indifference Some call Love

The High Indifference Some call Fate But we had Names More intimate

Names so deep and Names so true They're blood to me They're dust to you

There is no need That this survive There's truth that lives And truth that dies

Never mind Never mind I live the life I left behind

There's truth that lives...

I could not kill The way you kill I could not hate I tried I failed

You turned me in At least you tried You side with them Whom you despise

This was your heart This swarm of flies This was once your mouth This bowl of lies

You serve them well I'm not surprised You're of their kin You're of their kind

Never mind Never mind The story's told With facts and lies You own the world So never mind

Never mind Never mind I live the life I left behind

I live it full I live it wide Through layers of time You can't divide

My woman's here My children too Their graves are safe From ghosts like you

In places deep With roots entwined I live the life I left behind
