The Unforgiven

[Verse 1] 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 A vow unto his own that never from this day His will they'll take away [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] What I've felt, what I've known What I've felt, what I've known What I've felt, what I've known What I've felt, what I've known [Outro] 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 You labeled me, I'll label you So I dub thee unforgiven
