The Other Side - Alter Bridge | English Song

I would walk a thousand miles, Just to talk to you for a while. So many things that I would say. And to hear your voice and see your eyes on me. I would build a bridge to the other side, Just so I could spend a little time with you, There would be no "ifs" or compromise, Sirius, I'm seriously missin' you. This mirror is no use to me. My reflection is all that I see. I tried to make it work I did. But they all tell me that you're gone for good. Nothing I say or do, Will bring you back to me. That veil was the death of you, And she'll pay for it to.

Calm the fire Do not fight anymore They don't know what they're saying They don't know anything at all... For all that matters is you know that this is not their fault There are places we should never go Lost between the cracks something wicked waits below And all I'm saying there are some things better left unseen at all It's been so long it's tearing me apart I cannot understand or comprehend where we went wrong Now we've come so far The madness in our hearts will never end 'Cause I've seen it all I can't fight it anymore If fire burns forevermore is there nothing left to save? 'Cause now more than ever what we need Is love to replace all the obscene Something good, and something beautiful If only we could see that now more than ever what we need Is a little love Is there no more? Have we gone too far? There's nothing I can do to make you sway– To see the blood running through our hearts No different from the blood we've come to hate When I close my eyes I dream that we are colorblind And now you know you can't deny Only ignorance to blame 'Cause now more than ever what we need Is love to replace all the obscene Something good and something beautiful if only we could see That now more than ever what we need Is a little love Now let it calm the fire that burns within your heart tonight For some are too blind to see the world as it's meant to be When I close my eyes I dream that we are colorblind And now you know you can't deny Only ignorance to blame 'Cause now more than ever what we need Is love to replace all the obscene Something good and something beautiful if only we could see That now more than ever what we need Is a little love

Stuck in the middle, I burrow inside, Back to the cradle. Away from the burdens of all my crimes, Before it's fatal. My past has found me, the truth's come out, All is remembered. With no place to fall, but straight down, I must surrender. Well it seems I've finally thought of everything, I wanna love, I wanna feel, Find peace, find the real. There's a face I put on all my life, The face of an angel. But I look in the mirror only to find, The face of a stranger. And with all I've taken I hunger for more, Cause I'm selfish. And all I'm left with is a crown of thorns, And I'm helpless. Well it seems I've finally thought of everything, I wanna love, I wanna feel, Find peace, find the real. I'll trade these lies for something right. I will kill what hurts with something pure. I will be redeemed so I can breathe again. Well it seems I've finally thought of everything, I wanna love, I wanna feel, Find peace, find the real. Well it seems I've finally thought of everything, I wanna love, I wanna feel, Find peace, find the real.

Don't tell us this is normal Don't tell us there's no change So selfish and immoral You're to blame Cause you're the greatest rotter Still crossing out of line Now tell me who will suffer For all your crimes? We are running out of time Out of time And the writing's on the wall That the end will begin Still you do nothing at all And keep denying the greatest sin Ignore the truth and follow Reap all that you sow Spawn the future sorrow We will know Refusing every warning Deny the rate of change The ignorance is swarming What a shame Then you know that you're to blame You're to blame And the writing's on the wall That the end will begin Still you do nothing at all Throwing lies to the wind And the writing's on the wall So I say it again Still you do nothing at all And keep denying the greatest sin You're the one to blame For this rate of change No tomorrow When will you see? And the writing's on the wall That the end will begin Still you do nothing at all Throwing lies to the wind And the writing's on the wall So I say it again Still you do nothing at all And keep denying the greatest sin The greatest sin Deny it again When will it end?

Hold your hands up high and throw 'em in the air Show 'em that you care too much to feel this way again Things that cause you pain, just throw 'em to the wind Don't turn away again for I am always at your side As I take another look around me And as I'm trying to be all I can be Try to make me something more, and Don't wait, it won't last forever and Allow your heart to heal Just begin to heal Make just one last wish and shout it to the sky The time, it is right to love, to feel, to light a fire We'll never know just when we'll have the chance again To see it to the end, so do your part and make it last As I take another look around me And as I'm trying to be all I can be Try to make me something more, and Don't wait, it won't last forever and Allow your heart to heal Right here, stay the course with no regret Right here with me They'd say we'll get back to the way it was (oh-oh-oh) Before the bitter winds of change It's so hard to know where it's gonna go Will you please give me a sign That everything's gonna be alright? It'll be alright, ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah Don't wait, it won't last forever and Allow your heart to heal Right here, stay the course with no regret Right here with me Right here with me

The willow, it weeps today A breeze from the distance is calling your name Unfurl your black wings and wait Across the horizon, it's coming to sweep you away It's coming to sweep you away Let the wind carry you home Blackbird, fly away May you never be broken again The fragile can not endure They're wrecked and jaded, the place so impure The static of this cruel world Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day Long before they've seen their day Let the wind carry you home Blackbird, fly away May you never be broken again Beyond the suffering you've known I hope you find your way May you never be broken again Ascend, may you find no resistance And know that you made such a difference And all you leave behind Will live till the end The cycle of suffering goes on But the memories of you stay strong Some day I too will fly And find you again Let the wind carry you home Blackbird, fly away May you never be broken again Beyond the suffering you've known I hope you find your way May you never be broken again May you never be broken again What do you say we play one more song?

If you deny the wounds of your lover You will discover That what you had is shattered and wasted Did you have to take it so far? The truth exposed and love is devoured And the ivory tower is coming down A vow betrayed and honor is broken The wounds are open and bleeding out But it's all I can do to carry on It brings all I fear to life If you deny the wounds of your lover You will discover That what you had is shattered and wasted Did you have to take it so far? Should you have to throw it all away? Did you have to shove it in my face? Did you have to tear my world apart? Did you have to take so selfishly? No matter how you hurt the ones you need? Did you have to fall so very far? Should you have to throw it all away? Did you have to shove it in my face? Did you have to tear my world apart? Did you have to take so selfishly? No matter how you hurt the ones you need? Did you have to fall so very far? The trigger's warm, the chamber is loaded Lost in a moment What went wrong? There's nothing left, this house has been broken But still I'm holding I'm holding on If you deny the wounds of your lover You will discover That what you had is shattered and wasted Did you have to take it so far? If you deny the wounds of your lover You will discover You can see it in your love Your wounds are open and are bleeding out It's so real If you deny the wounds of your lover (Now that you've gone so far) You will discover (Can you live with what you've done and who you are?) That what you had is shattered and wasted (Now that you've gone so far) Did you have to take it so far? (Can you live with what you've done and who you are?)

Am I lost to wonder forever Perhaps for the rest of my days? If all that has been surrendered will just go to waste You left me out in the distance To wander this world on my own Sometimes it's so hard to admit it but I can't let go I can't let you go Go on and take it all Go on and take it all, fortress coming down I know we can't save it all No we can't save it all, everything is gone Oh, I have seen it all Oh, I have seen it all, the fortress coming down Go on and take it all Go on and take it all One thing I know is for certain We cannot have all we want Still this will not stop the hurting, it is never gone Now I hold on to the one thing Too fragile to stand on its own The fortress we built it is crumbling still I can't let go I can't let you go Go on and take it all Go on and take it all, fortress coming down I know we can't save it all No we can't save it all, everything is gone Oh, I have seen it all Oh, I have seen it all, the fortress coming down Go on and take it all Go on and take it all, fortress coming down Oh, there'll come a time, this I know There'll come a time, you'll look back and regret when it's gone You'll look back and regret when it's gone There'll come a time, this I know There'll come a time, you look back and regret when it's gone You'll look back and regret when it's gone In the end, too far gone, this I can't deny Still I keep holding on, you know There's still time On the outside looking in everything seems fine But the fortress caving in comes down On me tonight Go on and take it all Go on and take it all, fortress coming down I know we can't save it all No we can't save it all, everything is gone Oh, I have seen it all Oh, I have seen it all, the fortress coming down Go on and take it all Go on and take it all Just take it all Just take it all Just take it all

I've been defeated and brought down Dropped to my knees when hope ran out Oh! The time has come to change my ways On this day I see clearly Everything has come to life A bitter place and a broken dream And we'll leave it all, leave it all behind I'll never long for what might have been Oh, regret won't waste my life again Oh! I won't look back, I'll fight to remain On this day I see clearly Everything has come to life A bitter place and a broken dream And we'll leave it all behind On this day, it's so real to me Everything has come to life One more chance to chase a dream Another chance to feel, chance to feel alive Fear will kill me, all I could be Lift these sorrows, let me breathe Could you set me free? Could you set me free? On this day I see clearly Everything has come to life A bitter place and a broken dream And we'll leave it all behind On this day, it's so real to me Everything has come to life One more chance to chase a dream Another chance to feel, chance to feel alive

Another rebel runs against the grain A loner is born He's filled with anguish Deep within he's dying everyday To find his way He is lost So consumed Can you feel him Somewhere in the fallout He is someone just like you Who is lost to find the truth Can you hear him From afar he cries out For the answer to be shown As he dares to walk the fallout on his own So frustrated He walks the line alone Courage sets him apart He is so faithless All he once embraced he now disowns He let it go All the while He still waits Can you feel him Somewhere in the fallout He is someone just like you Who is lost to find the truth Can you hear him From afar he cries out For the answer to be shown As he dares to walk the fallout on his own Left behind He's walking A-burning still he tries To unearth the meaning to this life Cast aside, he's weary Bleeding to behold Disconnected, still he fights For truth alone Can you feel him Somewhere in the fallout He is someone just like you Who is lost to find the truth Can you hear him From afar he cries out For the answer to be shown As he dares to walk the fallout on his own

You have wandered In the storm Are you fearless Anymore Though you don't need To escape All these questions Still remain The question still remains Do you feel alive Tempting your fate on the line Pushing death to the fray Making one last great escape Above the ground You see the world You feel a rush At every turn And if you fall At least you tried As you tremble On the wire Walking on the sky Do you feel alive Tempting your fate on the line Pushing death to the fray Making one last great escape Here you stand all alone Above the crowd the air is cold Losing balance Where you can't let go Here and now In the clouds You have found Your escape For all you give It's worth the risk At least you've lived Your own way You're on the line Walking on the sky Do you feel alive Tempting your fate on the line Pushing death to the fray Making one last great escape
