Alter Bridge, "Words Darker Than Your Wings" from ABIII

Words Darker Than Your Wings is probably my favorite track off of ABIII because it is the first track which has featured solo vocals by Mark Tremonti, marking another step by AB to write outside the box. It is a beautiful arrangement and the two’s vocals complement each other perfectly. I would LOVE to hear it on tour.

Lyrics:

They say you are right
I hope that I'm wrong
I know that you tried
But still it is gone

[Tremonti]
Just don't you lose hope
I swear I never dream that we're alone
Now don't you let go
I swear I still believe though I don't know

Remember the years
I still walked tall
I only fear
Now I only crawl

[Tremonti]
How could I be wrong?
I hope there comes a day your fear is gone
How could we be lost?
Lost just cease to be not carry on

Into the light may you fall
Into the light may you follow
Into the light may you know
Truth alone
Into the light may you fall
Into the light may you follow
Into the light may you know
Truth alone

You can love someone
Go never to ask why
Or to fear again
Go find your peace tonight
Go set out towards the sun
Let the new begin
Go soon your day will come.
Day will come

Into the light may you fall
Into the light may you follow
Into the light may you know
Truth alone
Into the light may you fall
Into the light may you follow
Into the light may you know
Truth alone
Truth alone

Truth alone
Truth alone


Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy


Wish me luck convincing them to play this live. Not on setlists yet. I've got Chicago, St. Louis and Houston to try (so far ;)
