Alter Bridge - Calm The Fire Lyrics
Calm the fire do not fight anymore
They don't know what they're saying they don't know anything at all
For all that matters is you know that this is not their fault
There are places we should never go
Lost between the cracks something wicked waits below
It's been so long it's tearing me apart
I cannot understand or comprehend
Where we went wrong. Now we've come so far
The madness in our hearts will never end
Cause I've seen it all
I can't fight it anymore
If fire burns forevermore
Is there nothing left to save?
[Chorus:]
Cause now more than ever what we need
Is love to replace all the obscene
Something good and something beautiful if only we could see
That now more than ever what we need
Is a little love
Is there no more have we gone too far?
There's nothing I can do to make you sway
To see the blood running through our hearts
No different from the blood we've come to hate
When I close my eyes
I dream that we are colorblind
And now you know you can't deny
Only ignorance to blame
[Chorus]
Now let it calm the fire that burns within your heart tonight
For some are too blind to see the world as it's meant to be
When I close my eyes
I dream that we are colorblind
And now you know you can't deny
Only ignorance to blame
[Chorus]

Alter Bridge Calm The Fire Comments
blackbird? blackbird, really?? please no, calm the fire
Excellent
I left YouTube on autoplay. I get to this song and I'm like "holy hell what is this majestic tune making love to my ears?"
Of COURSE it's Alter Bridge.
The power of this song is amazing. The power of this album is unimaginable. The power of this band is impossible. Good job, Alter Bridge.
MEGA !!!
Don't see why you had to edit the song to shorten the song at 1:12.. that fade down is part of the song, not something to be expedited!
YES! I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!
The way AB is empowering the human fire and always with strong representation of the power of love is what makes this music so special. The world can learn to cooperate with the concepts in the ly lyrics here. These guys are enlightened.
The best intro!!!
I went from liking this song to loving it. It's shockingly good.
The intro sounds like Muse
I forgot how amazing this song is, and it's one of my least favourites from Fortress, that tells you how awesome Alter Bridge are.....
Love the crazy arpeggios in the beginning way in the back.
when he says "calm the fire" i feel my soul leaving my body
This band can do no wrong!
miles voice is f***ing amazing
💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎼🎼🎼🎹🎹📀📀📀🎤🎤👍👍👍👍
Flip’s drumming is phenomenal
Great track. but when i first heard it , i wondered....where had i heard this intro/chorus before......Alexander Rybak: 13 horses. Great song thou´ , and Myles amazing as usual.
My nipples can cut glass right now
Wow! Just wow!!
That intro makes everything about life so much more beautiful. It just makes you grateful that this band exists and that you even exist.
I know the intro is lit, but is nobody gonna mention that fire chorus? It's like guitars, drums, basses and voices were particularly made for this to be the outcome of combining them. Goosebumps everywhere
Just a masterpiece.Love Myle's voice a and the guitar work and blend so perfect. You can tell this was made with a lot of love and dedication. Thank you Alter Bridge. Your legend lives on.
SO FUCKING AWESOME
Beautiful song .Great album.Great band XOXOX Myles
One of their more unique songs. Excellent!
Calm the fire do not fight anymore
They don’t know what they’re saying they don’t know anything at all
For all that matters is you know that this is not their fault
All the places we should never go
Lost between the cracks something wicked waits below
And all I’m saying there are some things better left unseen at all
It’s been so long it’s tearing me apart
I cannot understand or comprehend
Where we went wrong. Now we’ve come so far
The madness in our hearts will never end
'Cause I’ve seen it all
I can’t fight it anymore
If I had burned forevermore
Is there nothing left to save?
'Cause now more than ever what we need
Is love to replace all the obscene
Something good and something beautiful if only we could see
That now more than ever what we need
Is a little love
Is there no more have we gone too far?
There’s nothing I can do to make you sway
To see the blood running through our hearts
No different from the blood we’ve come to hate
When I close my eyes
I dream that we are colorblind
And now you know you can’t deny
Only ignorance to blame
'Cause now more than ever what we need
Is love to replace all the obscene
Something good and something beautiful if only we could see
That now more than ever what we need
Is a little love
Now let it calm the fire that burns within your heart tonight
For some are too blind to see the world as it’s meant to be
When I close my eyes
I dream that we are colorblind
And now you know you can’t deny
Only ignorance to blame
'Cause now more than ever what we need
Is love to replace all the obscene
Something good and something beautiful if only we could see
That now more than ever what we need
Is a little love
Für mich die beste Band die es gibt!!!!
When intro like muse
But over all.. Nice amazing song
How true....... ;(
[Verse 1]
Calm the fire, do not fight anymore
They don’t know what they’re saying, they don’t know anything at all
For all that matters is you know that this is not their fault
All the places we should never go
Lost between the cracks something wicked waits below
And all I’m saying there are some things better left unseen at all
[Verse 2]
It’s been so long it’s tearing me apart
I cannot understand or comprehend
Where we went wrong. Now we’ve come so far
The madness in our hearts will never end
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cause I’ve seen it all
I can’t fight it anymore
If I had burned forevermore
Is there nothing left to save?
[Chorus]
Cause now more than ever what we need
Is love to replace all the obscene
Something good and something beautiful, if only we could see
That now more than ever what we need
Is a little love
[Verse 3]
Is there no more have we gone too far?
There’s nothing I can do to make you sway
To see the blood running through our hearts
No different from the blood we’ve come to hate
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When I close my eyes
I dream that we are colorblind
And now you know you can’t deny
Only ignorance to blame
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Now let it calm the fire
That burns within your heart tonight
For some are too blind to see
The world as it’s meant to be
[Pre-Chorus 2]
[Chorus]
TheWaveHD The fire burns forevermore, not if I had burned
I am a doggy
My favorite fortress song!
Intro is fucking sick
Lol that intro is Hotel California hahaha, I just had some old school music on and when it came on I was like wtf I know this :D
I was searching this song so long finally i know the name of this song amazing music
the lyrics in the chorus are beautiful and the phrasing and how Myles sings it...well...perfection
im from sodas stream
Whos here from Soda?
Hotel California baby!!!!
What a superb song i love it
alter bridge is the best group in the world!!!!
Holy hell that intro is amazing
Go Tremonti
sounds of a formal family education
Musicians are bred from birth to be this great.
STUPENDI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
half a million views for a masterpiece. they need to fire their management. pronto.
That intro made be jizz my pants! God damnit
Umm, I live in Mexico. Does somebody know why I can't purchase this album in iTunes in particular ? I mean, all the other albums are there, but fortress isn't. Why you'd do such a cruel thing, iTunes ? Why ?
Just pirate it man
Calm The Fire from Alter Bridge is just awesome. Myles´ Singin is killin it !!!
me hace acordar a muse :D
The intro and the outro of this song are pure musical genius.
Lol how can you not mention dat chorus
Joshin Around all the song man
this one and bleed it dry might be my favourite tracks from the record, i love it!
The urge to crank the volume up at 3:30
Impressionante como eles se superam a cada álbum. Puta banda foda!!!
+Nícolas Fernando Ainda não ouvi a prévia do próximo álbum, mas não consigo imaginar algo que não seja bom. kkkkk a qualidade deles é impressionante.
Blackbird é o clássico, Fortress, a obra prima do AB. Sinceramente, acho difícil superarem este trabalho.
Os singles do novo álbum, também não me cativaram. Achei de uma linha comercial demais.
Procure por uma banda chamada Poets Of The Fall... Também não tem UM álbum ruim, apesar de ser pouco conhecida. Vale a pena escutar do primeiro (meu favorito) até o que lançaram esse ano!
Das bandas mais recentes, essa e AB estão entre as minhas preferidas.
@Luan Paixão Estou escutando músicas aleatórias pelo spotify e só posso te agradecer por esse comentário. A banda é muito boa mesmo. Logo mais vou baixar os álbuns pra conhecer o trabalho deles completo.
@Larissa L Isso aí!
that beginning oh wow
Thank you Guitar Hero Live for Cry of Achilles and Addicted to Pain, you introduced me to one of my favorite bands of all time.
are alter bridge in the rock and roll hall of fame
Lol no. You're not even eligible till 25 years after your debut album. And plus the RNRHOF is such a joke
!!!
GREAT
its fascinating to me how powerful this song is. every single time i goto the gym this is the only song i listen too on repeat, and it keeps me motivated throughout my entire workout and then some! ive always loved alter bridge and appreciate all their work, but this song in particular is my favorite song of all time.
love this band :)
So grateful to Edge for introducing me to this band.
Same hahahahaha
Yep!! Same
I remember first time I heard that entrance going ooo WHAT'S THIS.
Totally agree
Me too i as many did first heard them watching edges entrance n thought i love this so looked it up and never looked back. You legend edge. As are the AB boys
WHAT A CHUNE LADZ
+Aaron Lynn Quite a CHUNE!! My Fellow Hetal Mead!!
caution : the song can evoke lightening and thunderstorm...\m/................
This album is by far their best work. They just leaped way ahead of their earlier stuff in terms of experimentation. This entire album just feels so progressive. It keeps you interested the entire way through.
so true, best album by far.
I played this album front to back on release day and never stopped in all these years. A masterpiece.
I would agree that Fortress is really good, but ABIII is equally fantastic throughout for sure.
I agree absolutely. I'm a massive AB fan, but nothing after this album is good enough.
For me, i think "AB III" is the best.
Muse should cover this
awesome!!
I can't stop playing that song. Powerful voice and lyrics!
"Something good and something Beautiful"
"When I close my eyes, I dream that we are colorblind"
Fucking amazing line.
wow.........!!! first I thought its a soft song but it got it all .
Amazing song
As if Blackbird isn't THE GREATEST HARD ROCK ALBUM OF ALL TIME
+Cuzjudd Love,love Alter Bridge but the 1st 6 Van halen albums have it covered
I actually meant to say Fortress lel
His voice is unreal!
i sleep when i listen to this song
then i play air guitar in my sleep
Great tune. Reminds me a lot of Geoff Tate from Queensryche.
the high pitch singing oddly reminds me off mars volta and at the drive in.. music not so much haha
reminds me of DT. awesome Tremonti :) favourite AB-song
craziest vocals I've ever heard from myles, or just anything in this genre
this one should be the BSO for an epic movie
Love every piece on this recording, they are maturing as a band and should be headlining everywhere. Great vocals and musicianship. I want more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vocals on this song is outstanding
I want to suck his voice...
It's like Slash's 'Shadow Life' :)
Good work ... Beatiful song
shadow life is minor SMKC song...but this is simply the best one form AB
I just read on the Alter Bridge Nation forum that Myles wrote this song after reading racist messages on a hate forum. With that in mind I listened to this again and it's really resonating with me, I've also had an extremely hard time dealing with the insanity that online trolls revel in (probably a mistake to say this online, but oh well). Regardless of why this was written it is a powerful and meaningful song, fortunately what you can usually expect from Myles Kennedy.
Say no to racism
Myles is a god
my current favorite Alter bridge song
my favourite alter bridge song: Blackbird
reply with yours
All four of their albums (five) just in case i missed one lol
Their entire discography
Myles Kennedy is the next Freddie Mercury. Except straight.
@Fabio Milano fuck you
Fuck you Andrew :)
Fuck you Zeuzo :))))))))
@Andrew Ruotolo Myles has a more aesthetic voice and also better control.
Gonna see them in San Antonio. Can't wait!!!!!!!!
Magnífico
Their best album yet. You can easily tell they work very hard to make quality songs that are instant classics.
its a song against racism
It's a song against violence
The most amazing band ever Myles Kennedy rocks
Myles Kennedy is my favorite contemporary rock vocalist. There aren't many singers with a voice that just soars like his. It makes the hair on your back and arms stand up.
I second this entirely.. the hair on my back is non existent because it has flown away.
To date he is one of the greatest yet most underated singers alive
Leftysfive93 Lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust
Donald Carpenter of Submersed/Eye Empire
Elias Soriano of Nonpoint
Up there with Matt Bellamy
Myles Kennedy, Brandon Boyd, treasures!
'cause now more than ever what we need is love to replace all the obscene ! <3
I cannot get my voice this high, no matter how tight I wear my pants.
@Shit Storm are your balls wet?
Have you guys heard Myles speak? He sounds 14 lol most high tenors do. Great singer.
Instead wear tight pants maybe you should do vocal classes. =)
Ryan S dang harsh. That comes from someone who can sing.
I can, but you know, girl.. lol
I'll never stop loving this song, it's so magical I love it<3
damn AB have more progressive elements in their music now it's really awesome to see this nice variation in their style. In this album and Black Bird it really feels like you are listening to Tool or Dream Theater in some tracks
@Need Support I didn't know Lucian listened to Alter Bridge.
@Carl XVI Gustaf this music helps me relax when the feed in my team is too strong Kappa
Reminds me of the band Red. They had a similar style. Absolutely beautiful. Love the riffs in this!
i was right on.. sorry.. faker..
