The Land of Unforgiven

In the land of unforgiven
A man stands alone
He thinks he is normal
But his heart is of stone
All across this wasteland
This harsh landscape warns
Full of fiery serpents
And of briars and of thorns
Out in the distance
Amidst this desert collage
He thinks he finds water
But it is all a mirage
The winds wear him down
But the heat is the worst
His throat is full of dryness
Consumed by his thirst
The wounds in his heart
He tries to fill with sand
As he grips his sword
Peace slips out of his hand
In the land of unforgiven
He welcomes his own trials
So he walks the walk of misery
Continuing on for miles
With negative words
His life will erode
He tries to bring others
Down that desert road
Misery loves company
In the life he will live
But he chooses this desert
Because he will not forgive
