The Unforgiven






New blood joins this earth 

and quikly he's subdued 

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 thee unforgiven 



they dedicate their lives 

to running all of his 

he tries to please them all 

this bitter man he is 

throughout his 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 the unforgiven
