Lyrics Alter Bridge

Alter Bridge

Native Son

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, no

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 that 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
