The Unforgiven lyric by METALLICA

The Unforgiven

 New blood joins this earth
 And quikly he's subdued
 Through constant pained 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



The Unforgiven II

 Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
 Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
 The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true
 If you can understand the me, than I can understand the you

 Lay beside me, under wicked sky
 The black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze
 The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
 Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through
 No, there's no sun shining through
 No, there's no sun shining...

 What I've felt, what I've known
 Turn the pages, turn the stone
 Behind the door, should I open it for you....

 What I've felt, what I've known
 Sick and tired, I stand alone
 Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
 Or are you unforgiven too?

 Lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear
 She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
 She lay beside me, But she'll be there when I'm gone
 Black heart scarring darker still, yes she'll be there when I'm gone
 Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
 Dead sure she'll be there...

 What I've felt, what I've known
 Turn the pages, turn the stone
 Behind the door, should I open it for you....

 What I've felt, what I've known
 Sick and tired, I stand alone
 Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
 Or are you unforgiven too?

 Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
 The door is closed, so are you're eyes
 But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
 Yes now I see it

 What I've felt, what I've known
 Turn the pages, turn the stone
 Behind the door, should I open it for you....

 What I've felt, what I've known
 Sick and tired, I stand alone
 Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits,
 The one who waits for you....

 Oh what I've felt, what I've known
 Turn the pages, turn the stone
 Behind the door, should I open it for you.... (So I dub thee unforgiven....)

 Oh, what I've felt....
 Oh, what I've known....

 I take this key (never free...)
 And I bury it (never me...) in you
 Because you're unforgiven too....

 Never free....
 Never me....
 'Cause you're unforgiven too....
 Oh


The Unforgiven III

 How could he know this new dawn's light
 Would change his life forever?
 Set sail to sea but pulled off course
 By the light of golden treasure

 Was he the one causing pain
 With his careless dreaming?
 Been afraid, always afraid
 Of the things he's feeling
 He could just be gone
 He would just sail on
 He'll just sail on

[Chorus:]
 How can I be lost
 If I've got nowhere to go?
 Searched for seas of gold
 How come it's got so cold?
 How can I be lost?
 In remembrance I relive
 How can I blame you
 When it's me I can't forgive?

 These days drift on inside a fog
 It's thick and suffocating
 This sinking life outside its hell
 Inside intoxicating
 He's run aground like his life
 Water's much too shallow
 Slipping fast down with the ship
 Fading in the shadows now

 Now a castaway
 They've all gone away.
 They've gone away.

[Chorus]

 Forgive me, forgive me not
 Forgive me, forgive me not
 Forgive me, forgive me not
 Forgive me, forgive me,
 Why can't I forgive me?

 Set sail to sea but pulled off course
 By the light of golden treasure
 How could he know this new dawn's light
 Would change his life forever?

[Chorus]
