Broken Wings
Alter Bridge · Live From Amsterdam [2011]
Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light in our souls
Leave the peace alone
How we all are slowly changing
Dims a fading light in our souls
In my opinion seeing is to know
The things we hold are always first to go
And who's to say we won't end up alone
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
And I'll search for so long
Yeah
Cry ourselves to sleep
We will sleep alone forever
Will you lay me down
In the same place with all I love
Mend the broken home
Care for them
They are our brothers
Save the fading light in our souls
In my opinion seeing is to know
What you give will always carry you
And who's to say we won't survive it too
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
And I'll search for so long
We sat every out
Relying on their will
To make me all that I am
And all that I'll be
We sat every out
To fall between the cracks
Of memories of all that I am
And all that I'll be
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
Ay the fires of the sun
On skinned knees I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
And I'll search for so long
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light in our souls
Leave the peace alone
How we all are slowly changing
Dims a fading light in our souls
In my opinion seeing is to know
The things we hold are always first to go
And who's to say we won't end up alone
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
And I'll search for so long
Yeah
Cry ourselves to sleep
We will sleep alone forever
Will you lay me down
In the same place with all I love
