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 

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” 

You labeled me 
I'll label you 
So I dub thee "Unforgiven”
