The Unforgiven
Written by Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, and Lars Ulrich, this song was released as the second single from Metallica's eponymous fifth album (also known as The Black Album). The song deals with the theme of the struggle of the individual against the efforts of those who would subjugate him and has since spawned two sequels: "The Unforgiven II" from Reload and "The Unforgiven III" from Death Magnetic.
