Chains of the Unforgiven

In shadows where I stand alone,

The echoes of my heart moan.

A puppet with invisible strings,

In a world that rips my soul from the wings.

Once a child with dreams so wide,

The fire within burned with pride.

But time, it wears on fragile souls,

Washing away what makes us whole.

They said to fit, they said to bend,

Follow the path, but who’s the end?

In the mirror, a stranger’s face,

Trapped in the war of my own disgrace.

I am unforgiven, in chains I reside,

A ghost of my past, nowhere to hide.

The weight of the world, it presses me down,

I scream for freedom, but silence’s the sound.

Torn between duty and the call of the wild,

Fading away, the forgotten child.

In the shadows where my hopes lie dead,

I tread the path, a life misled.

Against the tide, I tried to swim,

Lost in the dark, as the light grows dim.

Every choice a heavy scar,

In the struggle, I’ve lost who we are.

I am unforgiven, confined in my pain,

A prisoner of dreams forever in vain.

The weight of the world, it shakes my ground,

In the silence, the truth I have found.

And oh, the mountains I cannot climb,

Faded whispers of a brighter time.

But I’ll rise from the ashes, won’t play their game,

With fury inside, I’ll ignite my name.

I am unforgiven, no longer a pawn,

In the tale of the lost, I’ll carry on.

The weight of the world, it can’t drown my fight,

For the man in the mirror, I reclaim my light.

In shadows where I once stood meek,

I now stand tall, I know the weak.

Unforgiven, I’ll break every chain,

A promise to rise, to live once again.
