C#                                              A
Fate, giver of life now is all but dead and gone

C#                                                      A
Pain, left to die in blood-drenched fields or driven off

Now nothing remains

B C#     A E B/D# C#
A ritual tamed

We will never replace, no

C#                                                 A
Time marching forward brings a slow and cruel decay

C#                                              A
As I fight for the heritage so many died to save
[Pre-Chorus]
B   C#        A
Now nothing remains

B C#     A E B/D# C#
A ritual tamed

B      C#     A    D
What's taken away

B       C#        A
We will never replace
[Chorus]
        D  C#           D   C#
Now I'm a native son in a foreign land

Fractured and cut off from all we had

Severed all that's sacred, now we stand

Strangers left to wander this strange land

E B F# D
Oh, oh

        D      C#                D       C#
And I'm just living in a world I can't understand

E B F# D
Oh, oh

       D    C#             D        C#
I look around and see that my world is gone

E B F# D
Oh, oh

        D        C#                 D       C#
Still I keep trying to fit in where I don't belong

E B F# D
Oh, oh
