The Unforgiven III (from the album Death Magnetic)
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 would just sail on
How can I be lost? If I’ve got nowhere to go? Searched 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?
These days drift on inside a fog It’s thick and suffocating This seeking life outside its hell Inside intoxicating He’s run aground like his life Water’s much too shallow Slipping fast down with the ship Fading in the shadows now
A castaway Blame all gone away Blame gone away
How can I be lost If I’ve got nowhere to go? Searched 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? Searched for seas of gold How come it’s got so cold? How can I be lost? In remembrance I relive So how can I blame you When it’s me I can’t forgive?
