Alter Bridge Native Son Lyrics

[Verse]
Faith, giver of life now is all but dead and gone
Hey, left to die in blood-drenched fields or driven off

[Pre-Chorus]
Now nothing remains
A ritual tamed
What's taken away
We will never replace

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

[Verse]
Time marching forward brings a slow and cruel decay
As I fight for the heritage so many died to save

[Pre-Chorus]
Now nothing remains
A ritual tamed
What's taken away
We will never replace

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

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

[Chorus]
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
