Metallica - The Unforgiven II

Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
Speak the words I want to hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me, than I can understand the you.

Lay beside me, under wicked sky
Through black of day, dark of night, we share this pair of lives
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?

What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there?, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?

Come lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me, but she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still, yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there!

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?

What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there?, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?

Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
Yes now I see it!

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?

What I've felt, what I've known
So sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there?, 'cause I'm the one who waits,
The one who waits for you

Oh what I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
(So I dub thee unforgiven)

Oh, what I've felt
Oh, what I've known!

I take this key (never free)
And I bury it (never me) in you
Because you're unforgiven too

Never free
Never me
'Cause you're unforgiven too!

Metallica - The Unforgiven


New blood joins this earth
And quickly 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
Oooh 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 thee unforgiven

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

Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven

Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven

Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

Iron Maiden - The Angel and The Gambler

Roll off the dice take a spin of the wheel
Out of your hands now so how do you feel?
But you're not gonna win you'd better go back again
Do you feel lucky or do you feel scared?
Take what luck brings and the devil may care
But you're down on your luck what will the next day bring?

Adrift on the ocean,
Afloat in a day dream
Or lost in a maze
Or blind in the haze
So what does it matter,
So why don't you answer?
So why did you send
An angel to mend?

Best make decisions before it's too late
Take all your chances take hold of the reins
A roll of the dice ahead of the game again
Nothing to lose but so much to gain
A little danger it goes without saying
But what do you care you're gonna go in the end

Gate open to heaven is ready and waiting
Or straight down to hell can go there as well
I'll suffer my craving my soul's not worth saving
So why don't you go? Just leave well alone

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
X 4
Uhh

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
X 2
Mmm
Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
X 3
Mmm
Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
X 3
Mmm

There's like a hunger that knocks on your door
You've had a taste of it still you want more
You've made your mistakes won't play it the same again
You have been warned but still you plunge in
You play high stakes but there's nothin' to win
You've only one life and so many things to learn

The angel on one side the devil the other
Which path do you take? Decisions to make
Arrive at the crossroads you know where you're goin'
And what if you wait it may be too late

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
