Magnum - Not Forgiven Lyrics






No going back
That ship has sailed
Your poison words
Have been impaled

My blood runs cold
I shed no tears
That story's old

Your misery
Part of your life
Your sorrow burns
Just out of sight

My blood runs cold
I shed no tears
That story's old

Not forgiven
You wear the face of a liar
Not forgiven
You stand too close to the fire
Words are empty
To the money you're drawn
Not forgiven
You'll get lost in the storm

Your painted face
Fell off the edge
Forgot the facts
Or so he says

My blood runs cold
I shed no tears
That story's old

Not forgiven
You wear the face of a liar
Not forgiven
You stand too close to the fire
Words are empty
To the money you're drawn
Not forgiven
You'll get lost in the storm

No more pretending
Falling under your spell
Your life consumed in
Your dark hotel
Don't have a key there
I said farewell
Locked all your rooms in
Your citadel

Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven

Not forgiven
You wear the face of a liar
Not forgiven
You stand too close to the fire
Words are empty
To the money you're drawn
Not forgiven
You'll get lost in the storm

Not forgiven
You wear the face of a liar
Not forgiven
You stand too close to the fire
Words are empty
To the money you're drawn
Not forgiven
You'll get lost in the storm

Magnum Not Forgiven Comments
  1. S.... S....

    Very biting lyrics, shame to wash ones laundry in public. Great tune and look forward to hearing the album, rarely does Magnum let us down.

  2. u.... ....

    First hard rock band I ever saw live(Louisville, Kentucky- 1982). And they still rock!

  3. A.... K....

    Najveći muzički genijusi plove dalje svemirskim beskrajem...🌌

  4. o.... S....

    I'm Still there

    o.... S....

    ... It is an endless honor to participate in the video of the greatest musical planetary geniuses ...🌌

  5. P.... L....

    my youth coming back. Magnum rise again from the 80

  6. M.... S....

    Bob still on top form ✌

  7. s.... k....

    Another great blend of melodic hard and prog rock that Magnum are masters at.

  8. A.... ....

    Magnum on top form.

  9. d.... s....

    Met Bob many year's ago at his house in Tamworth really down to earth

  10. H.... G....

    Can't wait. One day there will be no more new Magnum albums. Been following for more years than I care to remember.

  11. P.... A....

    Great ! 😎👍

  12. L.... C....

    This one took me back to the early Magnum ditties for some reason. I'm not saying I want to go back there, as I've liked Magnum tracks more as you've progressed thru the years, but it's nice hearing a hint of it in a modern track. Maybe it's keeping it simple with all the new band members, as I felt I wanted a tad more intricacy - maybe that'll develop as the band gels.

  13. F.... F....

    One of the best band from the history of the R'&R...

  14. a.... ....

    Magnum are still rocking the house!!!

  15. D.... B....

    Has to be up there with one of their long list of best songs. A band of pure class. Always have been, always will be.

  16. M.... K....

    the drum beat and the guitar is best....thank you for this song(actually, it is the first song from Magnum that i discovered today)

    M.... K....

    Marcel Kodada there's plenty more to find then 😀 Without Love from the last album. Your Dream's Won't Die from the album before that or Soldier of the Line, Les Mort Dansant and Vigilante and many many more from the classic years 😀

  17. M.... N....

    Reminds me of the Wings Of Heaven period.

    M.... N....

    NOT That good by a long way

  18. I.... G....

    Pedestrian, and what's the focus on hate filled lyrics all of a sudden?

    I.... G....

    Apparently it's about the mythical Italian Harlequin figure as explained on the Magnum Fan Group page which is why the single cover has his picture on. Hate filled lyrics? I listen to a song for the music rather than the lyrics

  19. P.... K....

    Great to see the boys back again. Cannot wait for the album and tour

  20. C.... M....

    Er....has anyone worked out who this is about? Sorry, seriously bad form guys.

    C.... M....

    @Alan Barrow: It'd better. Deviating opinions equals pedophilic tendencies, right, Barrow?

    C.... M....

    Kay Gee sorry I have no idea what you are trying to say. Sorry.

    C.... M....

    @Alan Barrow: Referring to the comment you made yesterday, suggesting that someone who didn't like the tune might as well go back into his mother's basement & engage in watching juvenile boys on a site you called "tic-toc".

    C.... M....

    How convenient. I see you removed your comment. Not your dumbest move.

    C.... M....

    Kay Gee still no idea, sorry. @Lead Skies

  21. D.... A....

    London gig tickets booked. Fantastic. Thank you Magnum

  22. a.... l....

    Excellent track as always guys, awsome production and delivery by Mr Catley. And goodness we can all relate to these lyrics, despite no matter how hard you try at life, despite the hundred and ten percent you may give in a career or relationship or other, you are lied to and treated poorly. I will never ever forgive the few people that have lied to me and let me down beyond the levels I though were possible over the last couple of years. Magnum continue to be the music of my life that keep me standing above. X

  23. J.... P....

    Cant wait for "Scream for me Exeter!"

  24. D.... E....

    Odd video, but good song.

    D.... E....

    Great video, boring tune.

  25. K.... N....

    Sorry, this is not Magnum for me. They sound tired. No, I don't will support them and buy this. And by the way, this should be called Hard Rain V2.0

    K.... N....

    That's a classic Kenneth. Bob and Tony ARE Magnum.the singer and songwriter who everyone recognise as Magnum. No bitterness towards Al Barrow who is still an important friend of the band and still doing artwork and design for them. The new single isn't about any ex members and I have only seen criticism of one ex member in a couple of interviews. Check the charts round Europe in January when the new album is released and see Magnum doing well once more.

    K.... N....

    @Bullworker X5 I think some members have contributed more than others over the years. With this line-up, it's more correct to call it Hard Rain.

    I loved the first Hard Rain album in fact. It was then refreshing. I don't now why their music is so boring this says...maybe because Bobs voice is a mess, and Tony have to wright songs that suits that voice?

    K.... N....

    @Bullworker X5 well thank you Bullworker.

    K.... N....

    It DOES sound "tired". Like the band is bored.

  26. p.... b....

    BEEN LISTENING TO THIS AWESOME BAND SINCE "CHASE THE DRAGON".....GOT THE NEW ALBUM PRE ORDERED!!!!!

  27. C.... C....

    Brilliant song and just a perfect description of a narcissist. Well done Tony, there is a person like this near everyone. They use you, then discard you, after they sucked out everything you have, including your soul. Love it xxx

  28. C.... ....

    His voice❤️is still good even after all this time!

    C.... ....

    No sadly not

    C.... ....

    Bob Catley-The Greatest Planetary Bas-Bariton ... Ronnie James Dio-The Greatest Planetary Tenor ...🌌

  29. I.... P....

    Hell yes, another new album from Magnum, I cannot fucking wait.

  30. D.... W....

    Well, at last I've heard it. I like it. Sure, it should have had a great solo, then a great ending, a minute or so shorter, at 4.30 or so.

  31. p.... h....

    still got it fair play love em

  32. S.... ....

    Tony Clarkin what a genius Songwriter!

    S.... ....

    Very true

    S.... ....

    @Leaden Skies: A while ago!

  33. G.... B....

    great song

  34. H.... H....

    CRAP song. Good video, though.

  35. K.... G....

    Cool video to a shit boring tune, with shit boring lyrics. Seems there's a minimum of effort from the composer here.

  36. T.... ....

    It's a great song and video with a strong message but it lacks a great guitar solo. That's what it needs to really deliver it. Otherwise a promising effort.

  37. D.... P....

    So this somg is about Black metal lady?

  38. N.... M....

    Love love love love
    Can't wait till 17th January for the album!!!!!

  39. D.... D....

    🙌 the guys simply never seize to drive forward what it is that’s Magnum. Tony has a way of expressing such sincere feelings in words, words that epitomise feelings I share equally with experiences in my own life. They’re always very relatable. Bob delivers his message with the passion and sincerity intended.

    Magnum are and will always be very close to heart for me. ❤️

  40. k.... f....

    Another classic from Clarkin I love it

  41. g.... ....

    This band may be legendary, but they sure are making mediocre music nowadays.

  42. M.... G....

    Magnum featuring Abbath ?

  43. C.... B....

    6 minute plod and once again, without a guitar solo. The last two minutes is chorus on repeat and I'm just wishing for it to end.

  44. O.... C....

    А неплохо мне понравилась песня легинкая но чём-то берёт

    O.... C....

    Согласен Друже зацепило

  45. N.... G....

    a powerful song and seems as usual to be making a strong statement :-)

  46. c.... 7....

    Another great song in the best Magnum tradition. Never get tired of this band. Top music through the years!!

  47. C.... D....

    I like it!!

  48. B.... Y....

    Not bad, it's going to take a while to grow on me though, it might work better on the record.
    But after the masterpiece that was LOTRTE it'll be hard to please everyone.

    Solid song, could be a grower.

  49. S.... M....

    Love it. Looking forward to the new album.

  50. D.... R....

    Weak song. And they try with this clip to sit on the Ghost bandwagon.

    D.... R....

    Yeah, because Ghost is totally original and the first band to use facepaint right?

    How old are you, 12?

    D.... R....

    Seriously.... I love Ghost but seriously... come on.

    D.... R....

    On what planet does this song sound like Ghost? It's a lyric video FFS.

  51. E.... U....

    It's different when veterans of Hard Rock puts out a new album. The quality of the song shows.

    E.... U....

    Whatever that means ? Magnum are kings ..... long live the kings.

  52. T.... f....

    The best Magnum's song in many many years!

    T.... f....

    Was ist mit "Tell me what you´ve got to say" und "Without love" ? Finde ich wesentlich besser:

  53. H.... G....

    One of the best lyric videos I have seen, LOVE THE SONG.

  54. A.... H....

    Love it ❤️❤️❤️. Fresh sound. Can’t wait for the box set. To bad you can’t come state side. Love you guys

    A.... H....

    The Ramcat I'm sure would love to have you, and I'll damn sure be up front should you grace us with you presence.

  55. C.... S....

    ❤❤❤❤❤❤

  56. M.... M....

    Its a good track. Similar to other Magnum tracks but then that,s what you want!

  57. I.... G....

    Such a bitter and negative song. Musically average, dragging, uninspiring and cold.

    I.... G....

    @Yiannis2112 Are you sure you're okay? It's simply called freedom of speech.

    I.... G....

    @Ian Graham Hooray! Freedom of speech!

    I.... G....

    @Yiannis2112 lol People who can't think of anything else to say try to make fun of others. But mock as much as you want to. Won't turn it into a good song.

    I.... G....

    @Ian Graham Lol I really wanted to like you, but you're emitting such negative aura towards mockers, it's making it truly difficult.

    I.... G....

    @Yiannis2112 Is that all you can do? Still a mediocre, bitter, uninspiring song. Very nice of you to give me opportunity to repeat it.

  58. M.... I....

    Starts like a weak AC/DC song and ends like a weak Magnum song. Has Tony Clarkin run out of ideas?

    M.... I....

    You are right, I'm afraid so !

    M.... I....

    AC/DC has better average songs than this shit. Can't think of any of AC/DC's lesser tunes that equals this lowpoint.

  59. A.... F....

    Good old Boys ,see us in Berlin

  60. A.... H....

    Another superb song! Love the guitar, love the voice, love the keys, love the drums, love the bass...

  61. W.... ....

    Excellent track from a legendery band!!!

  62. S.... S....

    Quality! As always!

  63. S.... W....

    So great! Classic Magnum with a heavier edge. I love it.

  64. M.... H....

    Wonderful!!! 😊😊😊😊😊

  65. R.... B....

    Superb song.

  66. c.... b....

    Good luck !
