The Unforgiven - May 14th, 1991 Rough Mix Songtext
von Metallica

New blood joins this Earth and quickly 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
Ooh, 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, yeah

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

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, whoa-oh


Never free, never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me, I′ll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven
Never free, never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
