1. The Unforgiven
2. Killing Time (Sweet Savage Cover)

1. The Unforgiven
New blood joins this earth
and quikly he's subdued
through constant pain disgrace
the young boy learns their rules
with time the child draws in
this whipping boy done wrong
deprived of all his thoughts
the young man struggles on and on he's known
a vow unto his own
that never from this day
his will they'll take away
what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been
what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never free
never me
so I dub thee unforgiven
they dedicate their lives
to running all of his
he tries to please them all
this bitter man he is
throughout his life the same
he's battled constantly
this fight he cannot win
a tired man they see no longer cares
the old man then prepares
to die regretfully
that old man here is me
what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been
what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never free
never me
so I dub the unforgiven
you labeled me
I'll label you
so I dub the unforgiven
2. Killing Time (Sweet Savage Cover)
The sound of gunfire goes through the night
The killing and hatred's a terrible sight
Reports come in of a heavy attack
Message recieved, we're moving back
Preparations are made for the journey back
Hints on survival, supplies are packed
No more nights in this eternal hall
Destination is simple, we move out
Killing time, your life's on the line
Killing time, your turn to kill
Killing time, what d'ya say?
Killing time, ah killing time
Ingenuity needed to keep us alive
No time for cowardice, kill & survive
Like a killer kid with a switchblade knife
Nasty word, he'll take your life
The silence is over the attack again
The killing & hatred, drive me insane
Reports come in of a savage attack
Message received, we're moving back
The sound of gunfire goes through the night
The killing and hatred's a terrible sight
Reports come in of a heavy attack
Message recieved, we're moving back
Ingenuity needed to keep us alive
No time for cowardice, kill & survive
Like a killer kid with a switchblade knife
Nasty word, he'll take your life
