Can you strip away so we may start again?
Tell me, can you heal what father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free
You jab another pin
Jab another pin in me
Jab it
Blood for face
Sweat for dirt
Three X's for the stone
To break this curse
A ritual's due
I believe I'm not alone
Shell of shotgun
Pint of gin
Numb us up to shield the pins
Renew our faith
Which way we can
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love
To fall in love
To fall in love with life again
So tell me
Can you heal what father's done?
Or fix this hole in a mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?
Yeah, tell me, can you heal what father's done?
or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free
You jab another pin
Jab another pin in me
Oh yeah
No more pins in me, yeah
No more, no more pins in me
No more, no more pins in me
No more, no more, no more
o, no, no


        The Unforgiven

New  blood joins this earth
And quickly he's sub-dued
Through constant pain  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 knows,
Oo  a  vow unto   his own
That never from  this day
his will they'll take a  way
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 the 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.

Never me.
Never you.
So I dub thee unforgiven.

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

Never me.
Never you.
So I dub thee unforgiven.
