It's blood over water - it's the ties that bind
It's a natural order - not a written kind
It's just something everybody knows
It's a family thing - bout the dos and the don'ts
The lines that we cross and the lines that we won't
It's just something that you feel inside
Like that pack of dogs on the edge of town
You can't chase them off, you can't stare 'em down
They stickin' together and they survive
Well I always thought we be like that too
You be countin' on me I countin' on you
Oh dear brother yeah was I surprised
Because you did that thing you did, you said that thing you said
And now as long as I am livin' you'll remain unforgiven.
Like that poet said to forgive is divine
Well it don't work like that, not in this life of mine
What you give is what you gonna get
For the knock on the door that went ignored
There's a price to be paid that you cannot afford
Cause it's something I just can't forget
Yeah you did that thing you did, you said that thing you said
And now as long as I am livin' you'll remain... unforgiven, unforgiven, unforgiven
