Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The war was lost

The treaty signed

I was not caught

I crossed the line

[Verse 2]

I was not caught

Though many tried

I live among you

Well disguised

[Verse 3]

I had to leave

My life behind

I dug some graves

You'll never find

[Verse 4]

The story's told

With facts and lies

I had a name

But never mind

[Verse 5]

Never mind

Never mind

The war was lost

The treaty signed

[Verse 6]

There's truth that lives

And truth that dies

I don't know which

So never mind

يا سلام على السلام يا سلام

سلام سلام على السلام

Your victory

Was so complete

Some among you

Thought to keep

[Verse 7]

A record of

Our little lives

The clothes we wore

Our spoons, our knives

[Verse 8]

The games of luck

Our soldiers played

The stones we cut

The songs we made

[Verse 9]

Our law of peace

Which understands

A husband leads

A wife commands

[Verse 10]

And all of this

Expressions of

The sweet indifference

Some call love

[Verse 11]

The high indifference

Some call fate

But we had names

More intimate

[Verse 12]

Names so deep and

Names so true

They're blood to me

They're dust to you

[Verse 13]

There is no need

That this survive

There's truth that lives

And truth that dies

[Verse 14]

Never mind

Never mind

I live the life

I left behind

[Verse 15]

There's truth that lives

And truth that dies

I don't know which

So never mind

يا سلام على السلام يا سلام

يا سلام يا سلام يا سلام يا سلام

I could not kill

The way you kill

I could not hate

I tried, I failed

[Verse 16]

You turned me in

At least you tried

You side with them

Whom you despise

[Verse 17]

This was your heart

This swarm of flies

This was once your mouth

This bowl of lies

[Verse 18]

You serve them well

I'm not surprised

You're of their kin

You're of their kind

[Verse 19]

Never mind

Never mind

I had to leave

My life behind

[Verse 20]

The story's told

With facts and lies

You own the world

So never mind

[Verse 21]

Never mind

Never mind

I live the life

I left behind

[Verse 22]

I live it full

I live it wide

Through layers of time

You can't divide

[Verse 23]

My woman's here

My children too

Their graves are safe

From ghosts like you

[Verse 24]

In places deep

With roots entwined

I live the life

I left behind

[Verse 25]

The war was lost

The treaty signed

I was not caught

I crossed the line

[Verse 26]

I was not caught

Though many tried

I live among you

Well disguised
