Alter Bridge - One By One Lyrics






Underneath the desert sun
They bid my brother's blood to run
Many miles away
Hell has come today

Fire raining from the sky
See the face of fear asking one last time
Let me get home safe
Before it's too late

[Chorus:]
One by one
The brave will fall
Life is lost again
They gave it all

Deep within the castle walls
So many grieve as funeral songs
Echo endlessly
Ode to memories

This sacrifice of flesh and blood
For a promised land that may not be won
Let us not forget the hero laid to rest

[Chorus]

And they gave it all
A price we can't ignore
Is there hope in what they're dying for?
Fore every hero born
From every family torn
We will honor you forevermore

[Chorus 2x]

Alter Bridge One By One Comments
  1. j.... f....

    No lyrics?

  2. 2.... B....

    Anyone notice how the beginning of this and tremontis “all I was” starts almost identically?

  3. S.... R....

    Who else can’t wait for AB new album and possible tour 2019 🤘🔥

  4. S.... R....

    Powerful low-end rhythm guitar and bass, with Myles upper range to level it out. Sounds great in the studio, I'm gonna check out some live stuff

  5. N.... E....

    Undoubtedly their most under rated track.

  6. k.... ....

    the intro riff is fucking gold

  7. M.... D....

    When a lead singer has a guitar strapped around his neck, it's nice to see them actually play it and not stand there and strum it like they're making a big difference in the sound of the music. Myles could be a lead guitarist in any band out there. He and Mark have to be ranked up there with Metallica and the Priest as one of the best twin guitar duo in the industry today.

    M.... D....

    Well said!! Myles is actually quite the guitar player, his first few bands were into jazz fusion - and he played LEAD guitar for them!

  8. A.... ....

    Theres no fuckin band on this earth that could write a song like these legends

    A.... ....

    Airtrooper719 XBL shinedown

    A.... ....

    @Jon Orourke nah fam. Shinedown are good but Alter Bridge are top dogs laddo

  9. D.... H....

    Str8 gass

  10. T.... ....

    I love this song fuck, they're all such great musicians

  11. D.... m....

    which genre is the first part?

    D.... m....

    Huh? Why would the first part of their song be a different genre? Just because it was a bit faster and scratchy? Alternative Rock, as always. 

    D.... m....

    Debo musichannel It's called Hard Rock not Alternative

    D.... m....

    @Elijah Nicholas No. Not really.

  12. L.... ....

    The chorus is so damn good :D

    L.... ....
