Lyrics

New blood joins this earth and quickly he's subdued.
Through constant pain, disgrace, the young boy learns their rules.
With time, the child draws in this wipping boy done wrong.
Deprived of all his toughts the young man struggles on and on.
He's knwon, oo, a vow unto his own that never from this day his will they'll tak

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.

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.

(solo)

Never free.
Never me.
So I dub the unforgiven.

You labeled me.
I'll label you.
So I dub the unforgiven.
