unforgiven

metallica - the unforgiven

Lay beside me
and tell me what they have done
Speak the words I wanna hear
to make my demons run

The door is locked now
but it's open if your true
If you can understand the me
then i can understand the you

Lay beside me
under wicked skies
On top of day on top of night
we share this paradise

The door cracks open
but there is no sun shining through

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 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

They dedicate their lives
To running out 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

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

Never free
Never me
So I dub the unforgiven

You labelled me
I'll label you
So I dub the unforgiven

Never free
Never me
So I dub the unforgiven

You labell me
I'll label you
So I dub the unforgiven

Never free
Never me
So I dub the unforgiven
