Metallica "The Unforgiven" lyrics

The Unforgiven

New blood joins this earthAnd quickly he's subduedThrough constant pained disgraceThe young boy learns their rules

With time, the child draws inThis whipping boy done wrongDeprived of all his thoughtsThe young man struggles on and on, he's knownA vow unto his ownThat never from this dayHis will they'll take away

What I've feltWhat I've knownNever shined through in what I've shownNever beNever seeWon't see what might have been

What I've feltWhat I've knownNever shined through in what I've shownNever freeNever meSo I dub thee "Unforgiven"

They dedicate their livesTo running all of hisHe tries to please them allThis bitter man he is

Throughout his life the sameHe's battled constantlyThis fight he cannot winA tired man they see no longer caresThe old man then preparesTo die regretfullyThat old man here is me

What I've feltWhat I've knownNever shined through in what I've shownNever beNever seeWon't see what might have been

What I've feltWhat I've knownNever shined through in what I've shownNever freeNever meSo I dub thee "Unforgiven"

You labeled meI'll label youSo I dub thee "Unforgiven"
