"Last Rites" lyrics
"Last Rites"
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
Life you've ever known
Life you've ever known
Life 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
Ok 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

Alter Bridge had begun to write "Last Rites" during the recording sessions for their 2019 album "Walk the Sky" and finished it during the COVID-19 pandemic. Myles Kennedy explained to ConsequenceOfSound.net, "We just felt like it wasn't going to be something that fit the overall vibe of Walk the Sky, as far as what we were trying to attempt to do with that record. So, when all of this happened, we thought it'd be cool to revisit that song. I went ahead and cut the vocals here in my studio, 3,000 miles away from those guys, through the power of technology. It's just amazing what you can do."

Royal Bliss - "Medication" I don't really want to talk about it
I don't really want to waste my time
Everybody's got their ways around it

I don't need...
Smith / Kotzen - "Taking My Chances" You know me, I know you
You got a plan - yeah, what else is new
You got your money, high intellect

And I'm wasting...
Sixx:A.M. - "Maybe It's Time" All the scars, all the lines
On my face they show the times
I've abandoned my own life
I can't breathe, I can't eat
So I just drink myself to sleep
And embrace this morbid pride
But maybe it's time...

And gravity's never a friend
Deciding on who we can trust
And finding our way to crescendo, to the unknown
We'll never make it outside
Lest we unlock the past and...
Mammoth WVH - "You're To Blame" I could walk away from this
I could replace you
We could talk our way through this
I will erase you

World still spins around without you
No one but yourself to blame
Fought so hard but...
