All Ends Well Lyrics

If I could ease your mind, calm the storm inside
Pull your drifting heart back from a cruel and bitter tide
Show you that tomorrow everything will be just fine
All in due time
All

Somewhere down the road your stars will show
Somewhere down the road you're almost home
You're almost home

If you believe in nothing else
Just keep believing in yourself
There will be times of trouble,
It's gonna hurt like hell
This much I know, All Ends Well
It all ends well.

If I could heal the scars
Show you what you are
Bind the wounds of disbelief
That brought you down so hard
I would be the tourniquet around your doubting heart
All in due time.
All

Somewhere down the road your stars will show
Somewhere down the road you're almost home
You're almost home

If you believe in nothing else
Just keep believing in yourself
There will be times of trouble,
It's gonna hurt like hell
This much I know, all ends well
It all ends well.

So hard to see so hard to find (so hard to find)
All that you need will calm the tide (will calm the tide)
These words of wisdom you'll know to find
You have so much to give, won't you live, won't you live a little more

If you believe in nothing else
Just keep believing in yourself
There will be times of trouble,
It's gonna hurt like hell
This much I know, all ends well
This much I know, all ends well
This much I know, all ends well
This much I know, all ends well
This much I know, all ends well

All Ends Well

Vocalist Myles Kennedy wrote this song from his mom's perspective. He explained to Kerrang! magazine: "When I was a kid, I was pretty insecure. My mom always believed in me and tried to remind me that what I thought about myself and what the rest of the world thought were two completely different things. The lesson is: listen to your mom! And eat your vegetables."

This song was added to Fortress near the end of the recording process. Guitarist Mark Tremonti explained to MusicRadar.com : "We knew we needed something different for the dynamics of the album, and we also kept in mind that our fans like things like 'Before Tomorrow Comes' – the more uplifting tunes that we've done in the past. Things were pretty dark and heavy, so we wanted to make sure this tune wound up on the record."

The Uninvited Lyrics

What was sacred lost forevermore
Watch your hatred washed up to the shore
Underneath I still can feel the pain
What you took can never be replaced

Stone faced liar
Your hate vile

For the blood you waste this will fall on you
Now your fate has been decided
For the life you take this is overdue
You are now The Uninvited

Sirens screaming blood against the wall
No more saving innocence at all

No shame spineless
Cold rage of violence

For the blood you waste this will fall on you
Now your fate has been decided
For the life you take this is overdue
You are now the uninvited

Soon you'll feel all my agony
Soon you’ll know it
All you feel will come to life and it won’t be long
For tonight you are gonna feel my pain

For the blood you waste this will fall on you
Now your fate has been decided
For the life you take this is overdue
You are now the uninvited

For the blood you waste this will fall on you
You are now the uninvited

Stone faced liar
Stone faced liar

The Uninvited

This song almost didn't make it onto Fortress. Guitarist Mark Tremonti explained to MusicRadar.com : "It's got this hammer-on thing, and Scott (Phillips, drums) was like, 'That's just like a Tool riff.' So, for a while there, we were like, 'OK, let's shelve this and move on.'"

"But eventually, we came back to it," he added, "and said, 'OK, let's just make this as un-Tool-like as possible and go with it.' Everybody is influenced by somebody or something – a lot of times, it's a subconscious thing – so if an idea is really strong, you just have to give in and see it through."

"The song was a dark horse," Tremonti concluded, "and for a while we were probably thinking it was a B-side track. Once we finished it, it seemed to jump out at us. I guess we didn't know what we had all along. Now it's one of our favorites."

Waters Rising Lyrics

Now it the end of time a fool and his legacy are gone
His pride found another way to make sure it all went wrong
Awake in a new day our fears have come to pass
And this time they’re gonna last. This time they’re gonna last.

Don’t let me drown! Don’t let me drown!

Now all of the fields are burning it blocks out the sun
I see all the water rising to drown everyone

This is the season we tear our rivals down
This circle of tyrants will end us all right now
The earth has provided the means to burn it down
Well don’t you see it now? Well don’t you see it now?

Don’t let me drown! Don’t let me drown!

Now all of the fields are burning it blocks out the sun
I see all the water rising to drown everyone
This is tomorrow's way to end our days
Watch as the clouds they gather now to wash us away

Water is rising coming to wash it all way
There’s no denying we were so wrong
Water is rising coming to wash the filth away
There’s no denying we are so lost

Staring down the end of time every fear is realized
Crying out it’s much too late there’s nothing we can do to save
For the time has come

Now all of the fields are burning it blocks out the sun
I see all the water rising to drown everyone
This is tomorrow's way to end our days
Watch as the clouds they gather now to wash us away

(At the end of days)
(The end of days)

Waters Rising

This Fortress track marked guitarist Mark Tremonti 's vocal debut on an Alter Bridge record. The band's usual singer Myles Kennedy told Kerrang!: "It was a song that I felt had that Mark sound - the way he would play the melody and do his guitar thing - it really suited his vocal. It was the David Coverdale approach!"

Tremonti explained the song's lyrical content to MusicRadar.com : "I wrote this song about a fictional apocalyptic scenario. Just watching the news every day, every week, it seems as though there's always some way for somebody to end it all. After I'd written this song and I'd heard what Myles had done for 'Bleed It Dry,' I was like, 'Wow, we both went there coincidentally.'"

Tremonti's solo happened by mistake. He explained to MusicRadar.com: "I had written a riff that I wasn't feeling, so I was just improvising to see where I could take things. It was one of those situations where you fall down the stairs and you manage to land on your feet."

Cry A River Lyrics

Turn off the lights and close your eyes and tell me what you see
I’ll bet it doesn’t have a goddamn thing to do with me
There’s nothing left to say
I finally know the truth about you

You come alive you played it well I was the last to know
My premonition was the only thing that let it show
I gave you everything
But I could never pacify you

So go on and cry me a river
Don’t say this will haunt you forever
It never did it never will

Tear it away I wanna see just what you really are
And rip the veil that hides that wretched soul you call a heart
This is my agony
But I return to stay beside you

So go on and cry me a river
Don’t say this will haunt you forever
It never did it never will

Vows are not meant to be broken
You never cared for a moment
You never did you never will

Now I know the truth about you
All you need I will deny you

So go on and cry me a river
Don’t say this will haunt you forever
It never did it never will

All that you see you devour
The money the greed and the power
You always did you always will

Now I know the truth about you
All you need I will deny you

Cry A River

This song's solo was one of the toughest for Mark Tremonti to lay down on Fortress. He told MusicRadar.com : "I put it off for a while because of the chord progression – I just didn't feel like it was a good sound bed for an emotional solo. One night I was up, and I came up with a little lick for the melodic phrasing for the beginning of the solo, and I was like, 'That's it! Now I'm saved. I have something to work with here.' After that, it came together pretty quickly."

In Loving Memory Lyrics

In Loving Memory

Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti wrote this about his mother, who sadly passed away. In an interview with MTV he said: "There are a lot of themes on this record that are very personal, for example 'In Loving Memory' is about my mother who recently passed away. In terms of purely personal significance, you cannot get any deeper than that. It is definitely a sad, but uplifting song."

Open Your Eyes Lyrics

Looking back I clearly see
What it is that's killing me
Through the eyes I want to know
See a vision once let go
I had it all

Well constantly it burdens me
How to trust, I can't believe
I lost the faith, I lost the love
But when the day is done

Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one
On and on we stand alone until our day is gone
Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one

I love the way I feel today
And how I know the sun will fade
Darker days seem to be
What will always live in me
But still I run

Its hard to walk this path alone
Hard to know which way to go
Will I ever save this day?
Will they ever change?

Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one
On and on we stand alone until our day is gone
Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one
Still today we carry on, I know our day will come
Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one

Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one
Hard to walk this path alone
Hard to know which way to go

Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one
Lost the faith, Lost the love
But when the day is done

Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one

Open Your Eyes

This was the first single from Alter Bridge. The group is made up of members of Creed, with the exception of singer Scott Stapp . Brian Marshall returned to Alter Bridge after leaving Creed, while singer Myles Kennedy also joined the group.

Like many songs on the album, this is about regrets. The chorus seems to be encouraging peace.

Alter Bridge guitarist/songwriter Mark Tremonti wanted "Down To My Last" to be the first single, but the record company rejected it, saying it sounded too much like Creed. This was chosen instead. (thanks, Doron - Toronto, Canada, for all above)
