New blood joins this Earth 00:54

And quickly he's subdued 00:58

Through constant pained disgrace 01:02

The young boy learns their rules 01:05

With time the child draws in 01:08

This whipping boy done wrong 01:12

Deprived of all his thoughts 01:15

The young man struggles on and on, he's known 01:18

Ooh, a vow unto his own 01:23

That never from this day 01:27

His will they'll take away 01:31

What I've felt, what I've known 01:36

Never shined through in what I've shown 01:40

Never be, never see 01:44

Won't see what might have been 01:47

What I've felt, what I've known 01:51

Never shined through in what I've shown 01:55

Never free, never me 01:57

So I dub thee unforgiven 02:01

02:05

They dedicate their lives 02:11

To running all of his 02:14

He tries to please them all 02:17

This bitter man he is 02:21

Throughout his life the same 02:24

He's battled constantly 02:28

This fight he cannot win 02:31

A tired man they see no longer cares 02:34

The old man then prepares 02:39

To die regretfully 02:43

That old man here is me 02:47

What I've felt, what I've known 02:51

Never shined through in what I've shown 02:55

Lyrics:

[English]

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

Ooh, 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

...

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

Oh-ooh-oh

...

Never free, never me

...

So I dub thee unforgiven

You labeled me, I'll label you

...

So I dub thee unforgiven

...

Never free, never me

So I dub thee unforgiven

...

You labeled me, I'll label you

So I dub thee unforgiven

Never free, never me

So I dub thee unforgiven

...
