The Unforgiven - Gregorian

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 easy

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 thee «Unforgiven»

So I dub thee «Unforgiven»

You labeled me, I’ll label you

So I dub thee «Unforgiven»

You labeled me, I’ll label you

So I dub thee «Unforgiven»

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»
