[Verse 1]

            
New blood join

       
s this earth
             
 And, quickly,

           
 he's subdued
            
 Through const

              
ant pained dis


grace
             
 The young boy

              
 learns their 


rules

            
With time, the

             
 child draws i


n
             
 This whipping

          
 boy done wron

g
            
 Deprived of a

       
ll his thought

s
             
 The young man

           
 struggles on 

and on, he's k

nown
             
 A vow unto hi

  
s own
             
 That never fr

        
om this day
             
 His will they

               
'll take away


[Chorus]

        
What I've felt
            
 What I've kno

wn
            
 Never shined 

              
through in wha

       
t I've shown
       
 Never be
       
 Never see
       
 Won't see wha

t might have b

een

        
What I've felt
           
 What I've kno

wn
            
 Never shined 

              
through in wha

       
t I've shown
       
 Never free
       
 Never me
             
 So I dub the 

             
"Unforgiven"




[Verse 2]

            
They dedicate 

      
their lives
             
 To running al

     
l of his
            
 He tries to p

           
lease them all
             
 This bitter m

      
an he is

            
Throughout his

          
 life the same
             
 He's battled 

        
constantly
            
 This fight he

        
 cannot win
             
 A tired man, 

     
they see no lo

nger cares
             
 The old man t

       
hen prepares
             
 To die regret

    
fully
             
 That old man 

            
there is me


[Chorus]

        
What I've felt
            
 What I've kno

wn
            
 Never shined

t I've shown
       
 Never be
       
 Never see
       
 Won't see wha

t might have b

een

 Never me
             
 So I dub the
