Metallica - The Unforgiven III
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 Could just be gone
He would just sail on
He'll 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
His sinking life outside it's hell
Inside intoxicating
He's run aground
Like his life
Water much too shallow
Slipping fast
Down with his ship
Fading in the shadows now
A castaway
They've
All gone
Away
They've gone away
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
So how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?
"The Unforgiven III" is a song by the heavy metal band Metallica and appears on the album Death Magnetic released in 2008. It is the second continuation of the song "The Unforgiven ", which appears on the album Metallica. The song is precedent for the song "The Unforgiven II" (which makes appearance on the album Reload), which is the first sequel. Despite being part of the series, "The Unforgiven III" is structured similar to "The Unforgiven", containing a heavy verse and a soft chorus, "The Unforgiven II" had the opposite making it different from the rest. "The Unforgiven III" is also missing the opening horn note, opening instead with an acoustic piano with a horn section in the background. Also, a major difference is the lack of melancholia and the sense of remorse, evident in its prequels, both lyrically and musically. It was not released as a single, as its predecessors were. A live version was performed for the first time on April 14, 2010 in Oslo, Norway.
