True Detective Season 2 Main Theme - Nevermind

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 have a name
But nevermind

Nevermind, nevermind (nevermind, nevermind)
The war was lost, the treaty signed (the war was lost, the treaty signed)
There's truth that lives and truth that dies (there's truth that lives and truth that dies)
I don't know which, so nevermind (I don't know which, so nevermind)

يا سلام على السلام يا سلام يا
سلام سلام على 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 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 (names so deep and names so true)
They're blood to me, they're dust to you (they're blood to me, they're dust to you)
There is no need that this survive (there is no need that this survive)
There's truth that lives and truth that dies (there's truth that lives and truth that dies)

Nevermind, nevermind (nevermind, nevermind)
I live the life I left behind (I live the life I left behind)
There's truth that lives and truth that dies (there's truth that lives and truth that dies)
I don't know which, so nevermind (I don't know which, so nevermind)

يا سلام على السلام يا سلام يا
سلام سلام على 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 your mouth
This bowl of lies

You serve them well
I'm not surprised
You're of their kin
You're of their kind

Nevermind, nevermind (nevermind, nevermind)
I had to leave my life behind (I had to leave my life behind)
The story's told with facts and lies (the story's told with facts and lies)
You own the world, so nevermind (you own the world, so nevermind)

Nevermind, nevermind (nevermind, nevermind)
I live the life I left behind (I live the life I left behind)
I live it full, I live it wide (I live it full, I live it wide)
Through layers of time you can't divide (through layers of time you can't divide)

My woman's here, my children too (my woman's here, my children too)
Their graves are safe from ghosts like you (their graves are safe from ghosts like you)
In places deep with roots entwined (in places deep with roots entwined)
I live the life I left behind (I live the life I left behind)

The war was lost (يا سلام على السلام يا سلام يا)
The treaty signed
I was not caught (سلام سلام على السلام)
Across the line

I was not caught
Though many tried
I live among you
Well-disguised
