UN3 (The Unforgiven III demo) 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'll just sail on

How can I belong,
When I've got nowhere to go?
Shuffled streets of gold
How come it's got so cold?

How can I be lost?
When my ship was made to drift
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?

His days drift on
Inside his fog
It's thick and suffocating

This sinking life
Outside it's hell
Inside, intoxicating

Ship's run aground
Like his life
The water's much too shallow

He goes down
Down with his ship
Sinking in the shadows

Now a castaway
They've all gone away
All gone away

How can I belong,
When I've got nowhere to go?
Shuffled streets of gold
How come it's got so cold?

How can I be lost?
When my ship was made to drift
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?

(Solo)

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 belong,
When I've got nowhere to go?
Shuffled streets of gold
How come it's got so cold?

How can I be lost?
When my ship was made to drift
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?

Cover art for UN3 (The Unforgiven III demo) lyrics by Metallica

we hear the sad intro like someone looking to the past and cry over it

unlike Unforgiven 1 2 , it was strong intro

i think he is talking about himself

Was he the one causing pain With his careless dreaming? Been afraid Always afraid Of the things he's feeling

This is a new one he is changing the point of view Unforgiven one about he is Unforgiven and it was out of his hand Unforgiven 2 he turn it to her , in the same time about himself like he said : so WTF

but in 3 How can I be lost? When my ship was made to drift And how can I blame you When it's me I can't forgive?

he can’t forgive himself , he knew that the ship is made to drift but he didn’t care :

Was he the one causing pain With his careless dreaming?

because there others hurt because of his selfish dreams

Ship's run aground Like his life The water's much too shallow

He goes down Down with his ship Sinking in the shadows
