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
