Nevermind


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

I had to leave
My life behind
I dug some graves
You'll never find
The story's told
With facts and lies
I have 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
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 called love
The high indifference
Some call fate
But we had names
More intimate

Names so deep
And names true
They're blood to me
Dust to you
There is no need
And this survives
There's Truth that lives
And Truth that dies

Never mind
Never mind
I leave the life
I left behind
There's Truth that lives
And Truth that dies
I don't know which
So never mind

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

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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Leonard Norman Eliezer Cohen (Montreal, September 21, 1934 – Los Angeles, November 7, 2016) was a Canadian singer-songwriter, poet, novelist, and composer of Jewish origin. Considered one of the most influential singer-songwriters of the 20th century, Cohen achieved international fame for his musical style characterized by melancholic melodies and poetic lyrics that explored themes such as religion, love, loss, and spirituality. His artistic career spanned over five decades, during which he released 14 studio albums, selling millions of copies worldwide. Cohen began his career as a poet, publishing several volumes of verse before turning to music in the 1960s. His debut album, *Songs of Leonard Cohen*, was released in 1967 and included classics such as "Suzanne" and "So Long, Marianne". Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, he explored new musical genres, collaborating with artists like John Cale, and his albums *New Skin for the Old Ceremony* (1974) and *Various Positions* (1984) achieved great success. In 2001, he released the album *Ten New Songs*, which marked a return to a more traditional musical form. Besides music, Cohen was also a prolific writer of novels, essays, and poetry. His literary work has been widely recognized and awarded. In 2016, shortly before his death, he released his final album *You Want It Darker*. Leonard Cohen is remembered as an iconic figure in music and contemporary culture, whose legacy continues to inspire artists and music lovers worldwide.
