The Unforgiven (Live at Metal Church) - Tarja

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 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 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

How could he know this new dawn's light Would change his life forever? Set sail to sea but pulled off course By the light of golden treasure Was he the one causing pain With his careless dreaming? Been afraid, always afraid Of the things he's feeling He could just be gone He would just sail on He'd just sail on How can I be lost If I've got nowhere to go? Searched the seas of gold How come it's got so cold? How can I be lost In remembrance I relive? And how can I blame you When it's me I can't forgive? These days drift on inside a fog It's thick and suffocating, ah He's seeking a life outside its hell Inside intoxicating, ah He's run aground Like his life Water much too shallow Slipping fast Down with the ship Fading in the shadows now A castaway Life All gone away He gone away, yeah How can I be lost If I've got nowhere to go? Search for seas of gold How come it's got so cold? How can I be lost In remembrance I relive? And how can I blame you When it's me I can't forgive? Forgive me Forgive me not Forgive me Forgive me not Forgive me Forgive me not Forgive me Forgive me, why can't I forgive me? Set sail to sea but pulled off course By the light of golden treasure How could he know this new dawn's light Would change his life forever How can I be lost If I've got nowhere to go? Search for seas of gold How come it's got so cold? How can I be lost In remembrance I relive And how can I blame you When it's me I can't forgive?

I kept up with the prophecy you spoke I kept up with the message inside Lost sight of the irony of twisted faith Lost sight of my soul and it's void Think I, think I'm unforgiven to this world Think I, think I'm unforgiven to this world Took a chance at deceiving myself To share in the consequence of lies Childish with my reasoning an' pride Godless to the extent that I died Think I, think I'm unforgiven to this world Think I, think I'm unforgiven to this world Think I'm unforgiven No more raging innocence No more raging innocence No more raging innocence No more raging innocence Step inside the light and see The fear of God burn inside of me The gold was put to flame, to kill To burn, to mold it's purity Think I, think I'm unforgiven to this world Think I, think I'm unforgiven to this world Think I'm unforgiven

Many, many years ago on a distant shore Men did gather secretly beyond a hidden door They travelled long and travelled far Dark into the night Yes, this is the place they've chosen To build the Metal site. Congregation rises, starts to chant a hymn Of evil, lust and hatred, the roots of every sin The priest he stands before them, tells them why they are this way Why they worship metal gods each and every day By the hand of Oberon, dark into the deep Love the evil things we do, the secrets that we keep Metal church, unholy, who'll be the sacrifice Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right Metal church will find you, can't run very far Metal church inside you, knows just who you are No use in speaking out against anything we do While the men of earth they sleep, haven't any clue Now the story starts again, all the time is lost Metal Church begins anew Saving souls that are lost. Metal church, unholy, who'll be the sacrifice Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right Metal church will find you, can't run very far Metal church inside you, knows just who you are The metal church
