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 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 You labelled me I'll label you So I dub thee unforgiven The Unforgiven - Metallica You a Metallica fan too? I can relate to a lot of their songs; it's unfortunate, however, they adopt non-biblical solutions. This song is the antithesis of what Jesus asks of us. May we always strive to forgive those who have abused us and dubbed us unforgiven. J Come away, O human child, to the waters of the wild, with a fairy hand in hand, for the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand. |
