Native Son
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Faith, giver of life
Now is all but dead and gone
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
