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?
Searched the seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
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
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?

Review about Unforgiven Iii ? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/26/09
I don't understand why people keep trying to compare it to the other songs. It is a completely different song with different meaning and from a different album. Music changes, get over it.
I personally love this song and I like his voice in it. It is much different than songs like Battery, but it is still musical and just awesome.
does anyone really understand the metaphors? | Reviewer: jecqua aich | 9/20/09
I didnt like this song at first because it wasnt like the others which kind of relate to each other in obvious ways. but the more i listen to it the more i love it. the lyrics are so damn personal and in depth that its truly amazing someone can write like that. i think if Hett wasnt a musician he damn well should be a writer.
someone told me the lyrics were more about James than the story that is within the first two Unforgiven songs(hence why its so difference). something about him not being able to find that 'more' in life because he wanted money and pushed everyone else away (how can i be lost, if ive got nowhere to go. (symbolising he has no true family or friends) search for seas of gold, how come its got so cold(meaning money cant buy you everything)) and that he cant blame anyone but himself for that. but i think theres something more to the lyrics. AND I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT! its so frustrating! could anyone tell? im not sure
but its a great song and i agree that if you listen to it more, itll sure grow on you ;)
So many comments for and against 'UNFORGIVEN 3', I see! I feel u may not like the song for the first time. But the more u listen to it,the more u love it. It may take the 2nd day to fall for, but sure, it's gonna stay forever.
Every song is different.When u listen to a song DONT COMPARE IT WID OTHER SONGS.Cuz u'll then never like the original song cuz u always compare it to the one u love.
This song is simply one of the best songs of Metallica.This song has such deep meaning into it.Somehow it reminds me of my own life.
I have to listen to this song everyday.
And guys who dont love this song just because of its light music are wtflol.Just listen to this song and feel the music , and see how this songs catches u.trust me.This song and its mysterious music just like hypnotize me everytime i listen to this.
i am lyricist of bangladesh.i have learn a lot from this 3 songs.but i think unforgiven11 is the best.cose i have find a dream in that lyric.all thous words r in an reversible think that touch me lot.i want to know the songwriter's name.
In order to fully understand this, it would be helpful to listen to the 1st and 2nd Unforgiven
-Describing in the 1st one, a boy who is a skapegoat to society and his family, has the burdens and pressure to be like the rest, he cuts ties with it all, and at the end he's an old man who has not lived a happy life and reminisces and wishes he had been like the others
-In the 2nd one, He has found a woman who he wants to open his door to, to have love with, and who is not corrupt or "Unforgive" like the rest of society, but it turns out that she is telling lies and he "Dubs her the unforgiven", she's just the like the rest
--In this one, If I'm right...
He talks of the one he loved, and how he had set a straight course, but she had pulled him off, into his heart, portraying happiness she worked her way into his heart. He does not know if he was living in a false world and believing things not to be true. He is afraid to love again
He wants to forget all of this and move on
But when he tries to move on, he realizes there is no where to go, "Search the seas for gold, how come it's got so cold", saying that what's the point of moving on when he knows that everyone is corrupt, he will not find one who is not "Unforgiven"
He has no home, no one to share his problems with
He wants to blame all of this on the woman, but he can't because he is the one who fell into the trap, he made the choice
His life is coming to a close, depressing and black, with no hope of light shinning threw. He is living in hell, and his life is getting worse, with no love or compassion, no one to comfort him, and he is too afraid to commit again.
At the end, he wants to move on after this woman, but he can't forget about her, despite her tearing out his heart
No one is there to comfort him and there is no hope to find anyone else in this corrupt world.
He wants to be Forgiven for his mistakes and he looks back at his youth and life and wishes he was like the rest, but now he is old and dying, connected with no one, alone. He wants to be forgiven, but can not forgive himself for all of this, and is torn apart mentally.
He puts this burden on himself.
This is the most indepth lyrics can get when it comes to music, i love metallica because of the reality of their lyrics, portraying real life incidents
Basically the whole point of the "Unforgiven 1,2,3" is that society wanted him to be the generic, he wanted to be different, cut his ties, tried to find someone he could share his life with and happiness, she turned out to be like the rest, and now dying and old he has no one by his side and he leaves this fault at his own feet.
Too Different... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/22/08
I didn't like it for few reasons.
1) It didn't start with a bullhorn. It was a trademark.
2) They didn't use the word 'unforgiven' at all in the song.
-Both of those are minor oversights compared to this one...-
3) His voice sounds "wrong." The wayhe sings most of the song doesn't fit the song, the style, or the band. While the singing in 'The Day That Never Comes' is much worse, was looking forward to this song, and it was kind of a letdown.
Its great, Its Metallica | Reviewer: Artem R | 11/18/08
This song is probably the lightest in terms of lyrics and instrumentals, out of the other two unforgivens. Personally my favorite is the unforgiven II, but this ones not bad, different, but not bad.
I have never listen this song. I meet many difficulties in getting this song. I can't buy the newest metallica's album because there's no show which sell this album..
what a shame..
i hope, this song is as rock as TU 1 and TU 2..
metallica, you're my favourite rockin' band.
i want a song like in black albuw which is very fenomenal..
have a succesful albums.
we wait your visiting in indonesia..
