Unforgiven

~ Unforgiven ~
How many chances do you need
to get the hint?
How many times have you told me
I'm a piece of shit?
The unforgiven man will go to Hell,
Because he couldn't stand after he fell,
How many times does it take
to see that it's real?
How many more times must it be
for my heart to turn to steel?
       God will not forgive you,
        as you burn in Hell,
       God will not forgive you,
        as you sit in an 8x10 cell,
We pray to God and end with Amen,
It's not over yet 'cause it happens again,
The judge said
"If you strike her again, you'll go to jail,"
"I'll send you to prison with no bail."
The unforgiven man will no longer be,
The unforgiven man can no longer see ..(that)...
      God will not forgive you,
        as you burn in Hell,
      And God will not forgive you,
        as you sit for your last time in jail,
That beautiful girl you had to kill,
Now you must know how it feels,
To sit in jail, and rot in Hell.
