Alter Bridge - Last Rites Lyrics



Alter Bridge - Last Rites Lyrics
Official




I've seen the future, yeah, the writing's on the wall
And it don't look that good to me
Tear at the sutures put in place to save us all
Well, that's your right but wait and see

You don't know where this goes
Wait until tomorrow
You don't know where this goes
One day you will see

There'll be no last rites
The future's all but set in stone
Say goodbye
To the only way of life you've ever known
That you've ever known
That you've ever known
That you've ever known

Protest the boundaries put in place that hold you down
Scream in defiance storm the gates
Put out a bounty that might serve you well for now
But in the end you'll seal our fate

You don't know where this goes
Wait until tomorrow
Oh no, here we go again

There'll be no last rites
The future's all but set in stone
Say goodbye
To the only way of life you've known
There's no time
To wallow in the undertow
The last rites
Are screaming in the distance
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go

You had to have it your way, now we know

Okay, you've got your rights
But don't wrong tomorrow
I guess we all lose sight
With no one left to follow
Here me laugh now as
Embers fall like snow
Nothing matters now
Well, I told you so

There'll be no last rites
The future's all but set in stone
Say goodbye
To the only way of life you've known
There's no time
To wallow in the undertow
The last rites
Are screaming in the distance
Here we go

Here me laugh now as
Embers fall like snow
Nothing matters now
Well, I told you so
