Lyrics

[00:09.83][00:49.94][04:18.68] The war was lost
[00:11.42][00:51.69][04:20.92] The treaty signed
[00:13.01][00:18.80][04:23.37][04:27.82] I was not caught
[00:15.39][04:25.53] Across the line
[00:20.25] Tho many tried
[00:22.48][04:32.45] I live among you
[00:25.03][04:34.75] Well-disguised
[00:26.93] I had to leave
[00:28.98] My life behind
[00:31.10] I dug some graves
[00:33.28] You'll never find
[00:35.78][03:33.83] The story's told
[00:38.31][03:36.15] With facts and lies
[00:40.52] I have a name
[00:42.43] But never mind
[00:45.05][02:23.32][03:25.30][03:43.23] Never mind
[00:53.87][02:18.71][02:31.88] There's Truth that lives
[00:55.75][02:20.68][02:34.45] And Truth that dies
[00:58.40][02:36.45] I don't know which
[01:00.29] So never mind
[01:12.04] Your victory
[01:13.88] Was so complete
[01:16.04] Some among you
[01:18.55] Thought to keep
[01:20.82] A record of
[01:23.22] Our little lives
[01:25.24] The clothes we wore
[01:27.06] Our spoons our knives
[01:29.46] The games of luck
[01:31.35] Our soldiers played
[01:34.14] The stones we cut
[01:36.27] The songs we made
[01:38.62] Our law of peace
[01:40.80] Which understands
[01:43.16] A husband leads
[01:45.95] A wife commands
[01:47.73] And all of this
[01:49.63] Expressions of the
[01:51.55] Sweet indifference
[01:54.13] Some called love
[01:56.26] The high indifference
[01:58.59] Some call fate
[02:00.67] But we had names
[02:02.46] More intimate
[02:05.21] Names so deep
[02:07.64] And names true
[02:09.72] They're blood to me
[02:11.26] Dust to you
[02:13.99] There is no need
[02:15.92] And this survives
[02:27.91] I leave the life
[02:29.74][03:49.87] I left behind
[02:38.23] So never mind
[02:49.84] I could not kill
[02:52.21] The way you kill
[02:54.02] I could not hate
[02:56.47] I tried, I failed
[02:58.67] You turned me in
[03:00.93] At least you tried
[03:03.15] You side with them whom
[03:05.43] You despise
[03:07.52] This was your heart
[03:09.43] This swarm of flies
[03:11.23] This was once your mouth
[03:13.42] This bowl of lies
[03:16.73] You serve them well
[03:18.85] I'm not surprised
[03:21.43] You're of their kind
[03:29.18] I had to leave my
[03:31.45] Life behind
[03:38.38] You own the world
[03:40.77] So never mind
[03:47.56][04:14.23] I live the life
[03:51.54] I live it full
[03:54.00] I live it wide
[03:56.55] Through layers of time
[03:59.13] You can't divide
[04:01.12] My woman's here
[04:03.01] My children too
[04:05.29] Their graves are safe
[04:07.24] From ghosts like you
[04:09.33] In places deep
[04:11.84] With roots entwined
[04:16.01] I left behind
[04:29.99] Tho many tried
