Tribute To Dark Angel
— By Davida
I remember a time when we both were alive
A time when as children we both had to survive
A time when our memories were both happy and sad
A time when with you there it wasn’t as bad
A time when I called you
With a story to share
The times I had burdens
That I just couldn’t bear
But, I always had a brother
You were the only one I had
That I knew I could talk to
When life was making me mad
You were always an angel
Both beautiful and dark
And this is your tribute
Where you’ve left your sad mark
We love you and miss you
And it will never be the same
Without your sweet presence
You can’t share my pain
I wish you were here
And I’ll never know why
You decided to leave me
Alone here to cry
But please know how I love you
You’ll always be in my heart
To my sweet silent brother
You’ve been my bro from the start.
With love forever your sister Davida

Metallica: The Unforgiven
— Words and music by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Kirk Hammett
(Watch music video on Yahoo! Music)
New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained 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 thee "Unforgiven"
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee "Unforgiven"
