T he war was lost
The treaty signed
I was not caught
I cr ossed 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
T he story?s told
With facts and lies
I had a name
But never mind
N ever mind
Never mind
The war was lost
The treaty signed
T here?s truth that lives
And truth that dies
I don?t know which
So n ever mind
Y our victory
Was so complete
That some among you
Thou ght to keep
A record of
Our little lives
The clothes we wore
Our spoons our knives
T he games of luck
Our soldiers played
The stones we cut
The songs we made
O ur law of peace
Which understands
A husband leads
A wi fe commands
A nd all of this
Expressions of
The Sweet Indifference
Some call Love
T he High Indifference
Some call Fate
But we had Names
More intimate
N ames so deep and
Names so true
They?re blood to me
They ?re dust to you
T here is no need
That this survive
There?s truth that lives
And truth that dies
N ever mind
Never mind
I live the life
I le ft behind
There?s truth that lives...
I could not kill
The way you kill
I could not hate
I tr ied I failed
Y ou turned me in
At least you tried
You side with them
Whom you despise
T his was your heart
This swarm of flies
This was once your mouth
This bowl of lies
Y ou 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
N ever mind
Never mind
I live the life
I le ft behind
I live it full
I live it wide
Through layers of time
You can?t divide
M y 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
