New blood joins this Earth

And quickly he's subdued

Through constant pained disgrace

They 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 unknown

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
