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 yeah
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 be
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
yeah
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 be
so I dub thee
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 be
so I dub thee
unforgiven
Never free
Never be
so I dub thee
unforgiven
You labelled me
I'll label you
so I dub thee
unforgiven
