'The Unforgiven III' 3 lyrics by Metallica
This is the third 'Unforgiven' song following efforts from The Black album and Reload.
The best thing is it features a soft piano introduction which is kind of like the introduction to the song that Metallica open their concerts with The Ecstacy of Gold.
Unforgiven Three also features a ferocious end solo from lead guitarist Kirk Hammet. It's possibly his best effort in years.... what do you think?
If you had to criticize the song, it would be in this lyric. "How can I be lost? If I’ve got nowhere to go?" which is kind of Cheese Factor 10.
The Unforgiven III Lyrics
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 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?
