THE UNFORGIVEN
(METALLICA)
(taken from Metallica,
based on the transcription by Johan Englund, na94jed@mentos)

New blood joins this earth
and quickly he's sub-dued.
Through constant pain disgrace
the young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
this whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
the young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
that never from this day
his will they'll take away
What I've felt, what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
Never be, never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt, what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
Never free, never me
So I dub the unforgiven
They dedicate their lives
to running all of his
He tries to please them all
this bitter man he is
Throughout the life the same
he's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
to die regretfully
That old man here is me
What I've felt, what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
Never be, never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt, what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
Never free, never me
So I dub the unforgiven
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven
