Native Son Songtext

von Alter Bridge

Fate
Giver of life now is all but dead and gone
Pain
Left to die in blood drenched fields or driven off
Now nothing remains
A ritual tamed
What's taken away
We will never replace

Now I'm a native son in a foreign land
And I'm just living in a world I can't understand

Time
Marching forward brings a slow and cruel decay
As I fight
For the heritage so many died to save
Now nothing remains
A ritual tamed
What's taken away
We will never replace

Now I'm a native son in a foreign land
And I'm just living in a world I can't understand

Fractured and cut off from all we had
Severed all that's sacred now we stand
Strangers left to wander this strange land

Now I'm a native son in a foreign land
And I'm just living in a world I can't understand
I look around and see that my world is gone
Still I keep trying to fit in where I don't belong
