Alter Bridge - Cradle To The Grave Lyrics
Mother, tell me,
I long to hear the stories
Just like long ago
All these memories
Start to fade before me
No, I can't let them go
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place
When you're gone?
Father, stay here,
Don't leave me like the other
All you gave me
Father, how you loved me
Treated like your own
Don't ever let me go
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place
When you're gone?
There's no way to deny
The brevity of life
As time keeps marching on
All we have is lost
As time keeps marching on
All we have is lost
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing stays the same
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place
When you're gone?
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place
When you're gone?
How am I to carry on?
How am I to carry on?
As time keeps marching on
How am I to carry on?
All we have is lost
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing ever stays the same

Alter Bridge Cradle To The Grave Comments
Myles Kennedy is amazing Rockstar
this song stands on its own... the record doesn't make justice to it
recently saw them in Copenhagen in Denmark, they were awesome and def. got my respect!.
"With a despotic sway all giant minds,
"We are not impotent~we pallid stones,
"Not all our power is gone~not all our
fame~
"Not all the magic of our high renown~
"Not all the wonder that encircles us~
"Not all the mysteries that in us lie~
"Not all the memories that hang upon
"And eling around about us as a garment,
"Clothing us in a robe of more than glory."
THE COLISEUM
by E. A. Poe.
So freakin glad I am about to see them live coming this tuesday! They have so many songs that resonate with what I have dealt with in my life.. Great band!
Weird to answer myself, but I just wanted to say that the concert was everything I expected it to be, truly great. A lot of my personal favorites were played. Not all of them though..... So I I'll have to wait for the next time they come to the Netherlands!
still the best song ever!
AB has some beautiful fan girls 😍We in the US are proud of these gents here, and they deserve so much more attendance than they get in the US.
TokenFanatic-to my suprise, their New Album "Walk The Sky" was the #1 album in the US. They do not receive a big audience at the concerts. In Europe, they. sell out arenas!! In the UK, I think that their album was #4.
Damn I thought it was Slash
Louis Rocher-This song is from their 5th album-The Last Hero. They never played it live. This video is edited.
See you in Paris soon!
One of the best Songs from Alter Bridge !!!
It's too bad that the drummer doesn't make some solo jams ! I think it be great
I'm right there with you; easily one of my favorite drummers ever ... and I've been into rock music for decades.
#1 Alter Bridge song......
Esta canción es muy buena y la tocan poco en sus conciertos,no,?? fantástico el vídeo
You do realise you've ripped off "Get Out - JoJo" XD
That breakdown...my gawd, it is BEYOND EPIC. I have expect the clouds to part, God bless these sages and storytellers Alter Bridge.
Such an amazing voice and a great artist. I respect this group they deserve so much more
One of the most principal band in the world! Very criative
Isn't that guitarrist from Creed!?!??!
@benz merc-the guitarist, the bass, and the drummer are all from Creed.
Very nice, Alter Bridge!!!
CRADLE TO THE GRAVE LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Mother, tell me
I long to hear the stories
Just like long ago
All these memories
Start to fade before me
I cannot let them go
No, I can't let them go
[Chorus]
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place when you're gone, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Father, stay here
Don't leave me like the other
Know I need you so
All you gave me
Father, how you love me
Treated like your own
Don't ever let me go
[Chorus]
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place when you're gone
[Bridge]
There's no way to deny the brevity of life
[Guitar Solo]
As time keeps marching on, all we have is lost
[Guitar Solo]
As time keeps marching on, all we have is lost
Nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same
[Chorus]
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place when you're gone
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place when you're gone
[Outro]
How am I to carry on
How am I to carry on
(As time keeps marching on)
How am I to carry on?
(All we have is lost)
Nothing lasts forever, nothing ever stays the same
best concert I have been too in years........they rocked house blues myrtle beach a few weeks back..And I have been to Whitesnake/motley crue/bon jovi and more in the 80's! They are my favorite band right now.Myles Kennedy best vocals IMO.
I love Alter Bridge, the new album is awesome :)
I'm a fan of Alter bridge but come on guys this is just Jojo - Leave. Please try harder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggWyUEuGcWY
It's not Creed. Tremonti is just too talented. The whole song is him, that's the song. I'm not saying I don't like the other guys ... But I could take or leave them they add to it. But it's like the e tire goodness of the song is the epic tremonti in it. I'm not sold, this is the first alter bridge song I heard and I like creed,I thought I'd not like it but tremonti is so talented. Good job that one guy, being tremonti,just saying. Wow he is really great. That lead singer is just ok. Where's Scott? Lol.
@Davis Barr-Myles wrote this song for his dying Mother-in-Law. She passed away before he had time to finish it. This is not about Tremonti. Plus, this song has not been played live.
@nobody nobody Sorry to offend you. Wish you the best. People take songs in different ways while I appreciate tremonti and said it's epic I'm not even that much into him, he's just a guy but I thought he was good for sure. Relativism is the idea that there are no overall morals in life and is a very negative thing, but understanding that perspectives are relative to each person is wisdom. That would be a fact. What you're saying is subjective, the song is how people take it but I didn't know it was so personal ... Apologies.
I'll listen to it again and see if I can understand it better the way it was intended.
This band is so underrated. How did I only discover them this year???
3:35 Solo Thank me by subscribing to my channel. Cheers to all Rock Stars.
Can't wait to see them in Nottingham
Just the song i needed at this moment of my life! Thank you
My father is gone and this part is killling me:
"Father, stay here
Don't leave me like the other
Know, I need you so
All you gave me
Father, how you loved me
Treated like your own
Don't ever let me go
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place
When you're gone?"
knighTeen87 really sorry. 😢
Beat band alive today hands down.
grandi,,, porco cazzo spaccano di brutto,,, the best !!!!!!!!
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The pulls and slides at the start of the solo are insaaaaaaaane 😍😍
seeing them live soon
Is anyone else amazed at how totally beautiful to the eye all of these guys are, every last one of them? And musically insane, my favourite band, hands down. But seriously, so handsome, mind blowing, I mean seriously.....A vision, I don't know who to look at first. Mark may be my favourite and so talented. xx
How good are they. Rated Led Zeppelin why can we not recognise these guys
❤️❤️❤️ невероятная Alter Bridge ❤️❤️❤️
Dia mundial do rock 🤘 #vivaorock #orocknuncamorrera
This song reminds me of their song Home from AB3
The verse reminds me of Jan Egeland by Ylvis!
JET LI - CRADLE TO THE GRAVE
LOVE IT
Im I only here who thinks This song is like incomplete from backstreet boys?
Yeah probably
Jävla gungstol 😆great band rock on 🤘🤔
the community is small but Ten times as passionate as any other community hands down
Awesome Band.
Seen them live.one of the best performance of any band ive ever seen.....so good
This band is absolutely amazing, Myles Kennedy is a legend
4:09 - that girl is everywhere with that band! :D in 2008, on Wembley in first line - respect!
No love for this Band in the US. Very sad
That Video !!!!......My respect to whoever created an undoubted masterpiece.....Visual Magic indeed ;)
Alter bridge never got the kind the respect they deserve ..... its sad they have come in current age if they would have come in 70 's they would have been treated like Metal Gods ...
Myles you helped me through my divorce the Summer of 2009. I played the Blackbird CD on loop. I still listen to it. Your voice is incredible. Thank you. ✨💫❤️
I can't even listen to other songs on the album without anticipating this song coming on during a shuffled playlist. It should have never been made.
Why not?
Beautiful <3
299 idiots!
Rock Attitude, an authentic of Rock
This is what i use to sleep happily at nights! Keep rockinh Alter !!!!
Man. That Riff is FIRE. GOD..
Never gets old
Cant believe they are close to releasing a new album and yet they havent played this live
According to Myles, they'll never play it live. Too emotional for him.
if "nothing stays forever", why do we send/t our soldiers to abraod?
Well now I know there is good music up to these days
he was really inspired when he came up with the opening lyrics and melody.....one of the last great bands for sure
YOUUUU, are TRYING to make me cry!!! GET BACK IN THERE TEAR!!!
That second verse gets me every time... Damn..."all you gave me, father how you loved me..."
Ok! Im sold😍! Was searching for a song with the same name by ffdp (five finger death punch). Never heard about u guys before in my life, but u got my attention now. I think the bar is set pretty high as I start to go through some of your other songs, can only hope that at least some of them are as good as this one. Keep it up please!
RONiL alter bridge is far greater than ffdp...
Alongside with Iron Maiden, my favourite band. Both are my best Live performers. AB is real magic! Comeback to Lisbon-Portugal !!!\m/
Ladies and gentlemen... Music lives
im the 700 comment
Na moral. Que música top.
Los espero en Mendoza, Argentina!!!
Awesome Riffs!
Just discovered this song last night,i though broken wings was good,these guys really have found the recipe to writting amazing riffs and songs,Mark and Myles are fantastic story tellers.
Down to my last my favorite song..
Hy..
Alter bridge fans from Indonesia
perfect song. what else ?
Mother, tell me
I long to hear the stories
Just like long ago
All these memories
Start to fade before me
I cannot let them go
No, I can't let them go
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place
When you're gone?
Father, stay here
Don't leave me like the other
Know, I need you so
All you gave me
Father, how you loved me
Treated like your own
Don't ever let me go
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place
When you're gone?
There's no way to deny
The brevity of life
As time keeps marching on
All we have is lost
As time keeps marching on
All we have is lost
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing stays the same
From the cradle to the grave
It's a…
1:43 When you truly enjoy AB.
Myles💗
Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips have become the best modern rock rhythm section, with the best modern rock lead singer and guitarist. There is no weak link in this band and they just put out epic song after epic song.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
epic video and song
Now that is a banging tune.
Badley cooper(actor) on the bass?
uderated for sure I've been familiar with isolation it's a wonderful life dam been listening to this since 9:p it's now 2:46a dammit can't now
Baby doll Myles
Damn. The photography on this is stunning.
New band to me. Good stuff! Will be checking out more.
259 shitty people dislike this amazing song... I mean how?
Greetings from Brazil
Easily the best metal / hard rock band in the world at the moment
Nostalgia da porra 🔥
Tak je to jasné!!! Live Royal Albert Hall musíme mít...Díky za něj!
The way Myles looked at mark was like yeah we are giving it to them on this one good!
Myles Kennedy's voice is absolutely insane.
I am in love with this song.... End of 2k18
So beautiful. I missed the Alter Bridge...
Nothing gives me such as comfort than rhis band - AB is a warm place to be for soul
The guitars from 0:23 to 0:50 are so epic. I've looped that 27 second portion for an hour at times....just something from another planet. Even when some might assert AB isn't at their best as was the case with Last Hero....still better than almost anything out there. That's the sign of greatness
