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
