The Unforgiven lyrics

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

What I've felt

What I've known

Never shines 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 shines 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 shines 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 shines through in what I've shown

Never free

Never me

So I dub thee Unforgiven

You labeled me

I'll label you

So I dub thee Unforgiven
