Nevermind
The war was lostThe treaty signedI was not caughtAcross the lineI was not caughtTho many triedI live among youWell-disguisedI had to leaveMy life behindI dug some gravesYou'll never findThe story's toldWith facts and liesI have a nameBut never mindNever mindNever mindThe war was lostThe treaty signedThere's Truth that livesAnd Truth that diesI don't know whichSo never mindSongtexteYour victoryWas so completeSome among youThought to keepA record ofOur little livesThe clothes we woreOur spoons our knivesThe games of luckOur soldiers playedThe stones we cutThe songs we madeOur law of peaceWhich understandsA husband leadsA wife commandsAnd all of thisExpressions of theSweet indifferenceSome called loveThe high indifferenceSome call fateBut we had namesMore intimateNames so deepAnd names trueThey're blood to meDust to youThere is no needAnd this survivesThere's Truth that livesAnd Truth that diesNever mindNever mindI leave the lifeI left behindThere's Truth that livesAnd Truth that diesI don't know whichSo never mindI could not killThe way you killI could not hateI triedI failedYou turned me inAt least you triedYou side with them whomYou despiseThis was your heartThis swarm of fliesThis was once your mouthThis bowl of liesYou serve them wellI'm not surprisedYou're of their kinYou're of their kindNever mindNever mindI had to leave myLife behindThe story's toldWith facts and liesYou own the worldSo never mindNever mindNever mindI live the lifeI left behindI live it fullI live it wideThrough layers of timeYou can't divideMy woman's hereMy children tooTheir graves are safeFrom ghosts like youIn places deepWith roots entwinedI live the lifeI left behindThe war was lostThe treaty signedI was not caughtAcross the lineI was not caughtTho many triedI live among youWell-disguised
