Lyrics of The Unforgiven by Metallica
verse
New blood joins this Earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
verse
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
pre-chorus
Ooh, 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
chorus
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
They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
verse
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
pre-chorus
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
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
chorus
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
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
chorus
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
Oh-ooh-oh
hook
Never free, never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me, I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven
hook
Never free, never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me, I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven
outro
Never free, never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
Writer(s): James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Lars Ulrich
