Leonard Cohen - Nevermind lyrics
[Leonard Cohen - Nevermind lyrics]
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
(السلام و السلام)
Your victory was so complete
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 these expressions of the
Sweet indifference some called 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 and this survives
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 and truth that dies
I don't know which so never mind
(السلام و السلام)
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
I had to leave my life behind
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
السلام و السلام
The war was lost the treaty signed
I was not caught across the line
I was not caught tho many tried
I live among you well-disguised
No man can see the vast design
Or who will be last of his kind
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
(السلام و السلام)
