Metallica : 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'll just sail on

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?

These days drift on
Inside a fog
It's thick and suffocating

His sinking life
Outside it's hell
Inside, intoxication

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?

(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 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?

this is a great song but i think all songs have several stories in them its how the person listening to it it means to them some can say this song is about love and losing it and realizing you lost everything becouse you cant forgive yourself wich can cause it to tear up your life others can see it as a man found a girl that he soon found out was like the rest of the world and then no ones left so he has nothing to lose but what ever you get from the story there is no wrong or right it is what ever it means to you so why argue on whos right andd whos wrong you might all be wrong the only one that can say what it was written to mean is the writer themselves

i think in 1 he is blaming a person for doin something in his past(probably a family member or lady friend) then in 2 he is considering that he is unforgivin too for not forgiving that person then on 3 he realizes that he is the one he cant forgive for not forgiving that person, and he cant forgive himself because he lost that person because he didnt forgive him/her and he didnt forgive that person because he was over dramatic about what happened

I think that the Story of the Unforgiven is Great. One can truly get lost in the lyrics if the feel the music.
I have been listening to Metalica since 1980 and these three songs are amazing, however I do feel that III should have ended with the piano fading off into the waves...Now that would have perfect.....

whts wrong with u all !! if u emphasize on the lyrics a little more u will realize that its a story of a child from a boy to a beast .. in the beginning i.e unforgiven he tells the world this how became unforgivable like u all ,in second hes stumbled across a female who's also guess wht.. and now then in the third .. he's letting the world know u may think that i m just like u but the only difference b/w him and the world is that now that everybody has gone he has nothing to loose...

MetallicaMan No you are Wrong!!! I have tried to submit this a few times so if it shows up on this thread more than once I apologize guys... None the less, In the 1st the "unforgiven" are all those that have ridiculed the "voice of the song" (i.e. young boy/man/oldman). In the 2nd the "unforgiven" is one individual. The voice of the song is speaking to a lady friend that he has met later in life. He soon finds that she is just like all others he has come across in his life... In the the 3rd the "unforgiven" is the voice of the song (the young boy/man/old man). He now realizes that he can't forgive those that have done him wrong in the past, therefore he is now the "UNFORGIVEN"!

I feel that there should be some words link to the previous parts of The Unforgiven like "what I've felt, what I've known". But the song is great in itself. I like especially the solo.

You are Wrong!!! In Unforgiven I the main idea is that :" He is the unforgiven " In the Unforgiven II :" He asks you if you are unforgiven too? " and in The Unforgiven III " He asks to be forgiven " ! So there is a connection between them.....anyway Metallica is the Best \m/ !
