Talk:Ricky Rodriguez Memorial
- To all: Should we include the lyrics to the song by Metallica that was played at the Memorial? — Thorwald 21:35, 27 Mar 2005 (CST) Below are these lyrics:
The Unforgiven
Words and Music by: James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Kirk Hammett
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"
- I don't think that's a bad idea, but maybe just a link to it so the page doesn't grow too big. Also, could someone post a copy of Davida's poem?
