Alter Bridge - Take The Crown Lyrics






So sorry
So sorry
But you're going down

Under the lights and thunder
We come to life
You roll the bones and wonder
What fate decides

The screams, the frenzy
Reveals the worst
As hearts of many
Hunger to be first

Let's state the obvious right now
We'll be victorious
We'll take the crown
Just like we've always done before
You're digging in
We'll step around
Cause in the end
We will stand our ground

Blood on the diamond flowing
Tears fall tonight
There is no sense in hoping
You won't survive

The sound and fury
Will shake the earth
As cowards scurry
Knowing we've returned

Let's state the obvious right now
We'll be victorious
We'll take the crown
Just like we've always done before
You're digging in
We'll step around
Cause in the end
We will stand our ground

You will bow down in the end
Know our reign we will defend

Young and impossible
As we stake our claim
In the league of unstoppables
Your resistance in the end will be in vain

Let's state the obvious right now
We'll be victorious
We'll take the crown
Just like we've always done before
You're digging in
We'll step around
Cause in the end
We will stand our ground

You're going down but we're so sorry

You're going down but we're so sorry

  6. R.... M....

    Myles went to high school with Jason Hansen, the former NFL kicker. This song was released late in August, just as drafts for fantasy football were peaking. I love this song, BTW. It blows me away. But the lyrics are so perfectly suited for the kickoff of fantasy football season that I have to ask: Myles, was the timing intentional? Do you play FFB? I run a darn good league. Reply if you'd like to join.

  7. O.... C....

    Anyone remember they did edges them song for wwe

    O.... C....

    That's how I was first introduced to the band. Edge's best theme, by the way. :)

    You have a good taste in music
    Now continue listening

  11. B.... R....

    Best song on the album!

  12. L.... H....

    This song came at the right time. I have been suffering from depressions and eating disorders for decades, I can handle everything with medical help and medicines. Everyone thinks I have everything under control and that I am strong in my lead. I take the crown, nothing else!

  13. N.... -....

    YA'LL........THIS SONG'S ORIGINATION WILL BLOW YA'LL AWAY....NOT GONNA MAKE IT EASY FOR YA THOUGH.....GO DIG THRU YOUTUBE AND FIND THE INTERVIEW WITH MARK AND MYLES, AND MYLES TELLS THE STORY ABOUT THE ROOTS OF THIS SONG'S ORIGINATION.....IT'LL MAKE YOU SMILE.....AND MAYBE EVEN GIGGLE A LIL BIT...TOO!!!😎😎😎😎

  14. A.... Y....

    Phenomenal. Absolutely amazing album. This band will never get the recognition for raw talent it deserves.

  15. T.... S....

    One of their best

  16. U.... N....

    This song is ok, if it remained heavy throughout it would be good. The intro and outro are too weak.

    I would like to ask the Altar Bridge fans their opinion on what this song means :)))))) I think this song is awesome and so is Alter Bridge fans ! ! !

    T.... T....

    @T TANA, Myles states that it is about taking the crown back from a team, in his old neighborhood. They use to come and whip their butts!! When he was young.

    T.... T....

    @nobody nobody wow thank you for your time! ! Where did you find that at I've been looking and looking and looking :) I think that is awesome writing

    T.... T....

    @T TANA-Myles and Mark did an interview about the new album. The host asked about the song and Myles told him. The interview is on you tube.

  19. L.... B....

    Just don't love it. Something is missing from the earlier stuff

    L.... B....

    @Sean B, it is not heavy. There is no punch line. There is no power behind the words. But it is a nice song.

  20. R.... ....

    SICK!!!
    -Dr.Flaw

  21. S.... V....

    Welcome back Alter Bridge!💯 We missed ya!!🔝 Rock💣💥 on!! 😎🤘

  22. n.... n....

    I love this song. Wish it was around when I was in school! You are doing great, Alter Bridge.

  23. S.... ....

    Jizz riff

  24. R.... G....

    Um dos melhores riffs/refrões/solo do álbum! Acho que está entre as minhas preferidas.

  25. S.... M....

    This my favorite song off the new record so far! It reminds me of a modern day version of We Will Rock You!

  26. J.... S....

    I think an official video is when the band is in it.

  27. C.... E....

    LOL 242 thumbs down? Who in the world would downvote this glorious music?!

  28. A.... P....

    Just only I see it? This is Harry Potter font! :D

    why never make a slow song again, like in loving memory or watch over you, thats my favorite song since I first heard it in 2004 until now, I really .... really liked that song especially "watch over you" because when I listened to the song I always imagined my father singing it, my father's died in 2002, i always crying when i listening that song......bravo, semoga sukses selalu dalam berkarya.....salam dari Indonesia

    That moment when they revealed this song was about a Tee-ball team that kept whipping Myles' team's ass XD

    T.... ....

    You're going down but we're so sorry

    You're going down but we're so sorry

  39. M.... H....

    I don't think anything will beat One Day Remains. Why is it that most band's first album is usually almost always the best one and then they change their style afterwards?

    M.... H....

    They changed their style because they felt One Day Remains had a Creedy sound that drew Creed fans to it but they weren't Creed 2.0... They wanted to make AB their own thing

  40. M.... T....

    I keep coming onto youtube thinking, what music should I listen to......
    And I always end up at the kings of rock "ALTER BRIDGE"!!!!

  41. �.... �....

    best vocals,best bass lines,nice riffs,concrete drum rythms....best rock metal band for the last decade

  42. L.... R....

    Me gustan los nuevos temas que están sacando, arriba AB!!!!💀💀💀

  43. E.... P....

    This song SUCKS!






    Just kidding.. it’s awesome 👏🏻

    E.... P....

    Sorry grandmother its taaaaa future.

  44. N.... A....

    I'm not going to lie, I love Alter Bridge.

  46. J.... O....

    Wonderful song

  47. 2.... p....

    Wow jam packed show too much money

  48. m.... h....

    Damn it u artists

  49. B.... ....

    Myles is getting whinier and whinier and more irritating each album. This band has turned to shit.

  50. L.... C....

    Discovered these guys a few months back. Totally obsessed. Cannot. Get. Enough 🤤🤤🤤

  51. D.... R....

    Loving the New Sounds and ever changing Dynamics that are ALTERBRIDGE ... Bring the 18th :D

  52. G.... ....

    Scott Philips inspired me to play drums..




    True story 🤘✌🕆

  53. �.... ....

    Plz come to KR

  54. H.... K....

    No one talked about the ending? Is that you Myles? I can feel the blues vibe...

    H.... K....

    Oh - there are comments on the amazing outro - just few and far between, And yes, I would say that is Myles as well.

  55. L.... K....

  56. A.... K....

    I do like Intro riff, chorus part and outro riff

  57. F.... R....

    I love tremonti mostly for his sick riffs...but damn this solo is fcking amazing too!

  58. G.... ....

    For some reason I found this a bit humorous for them.

  59. D.... M....

    This video has a potential amount of wallpapers.

  60. S.... V....

    That riff kicks in *HEAaavy*

  61. F.... K....

    Banda muito boa, escuto o som desses caras a muito tempo, a banda em si, desde os primórdios do Creed, e Myles Kennedy, desde sua antiga banda Mayfield Four. O projeto solo de Tremonti são excelentes, na minha opinião, um dos melhores guitar man do mundo. Alter Bridge é uma excelente formação, tocam muito, vida longa.

  62. A.... H....

    Is that 'Faith Seed' on the album art?!

  63. D.... ....

    Has a Korn Twisted Transistor melody in the pre-chorus.

    D.... ....

    Omg you're right. I was trying to nail down where I'd heard that melody. Honestly this whole album has had a bit of a Korn sound to it. Not quite sure how I feel about it.

  64. H.... N....

    with Alter Bridge, expect the unexpected my friends!!................

  65. r.... s....

    Great new stuff I will find a way to at lease give alter bridge some money for this

  66. P.... ....

    I love the song and it's texture, but the chorus is a bit too positive imo, it takes away that thickness from the intro and the verse. A bit like the songs from The Last Hero, they also got amazing verses and intros - I hope to hear some Fortress/ABIII choruses in the upcoming songs :D

  67. J.... V....

    Excelente Rock \M/😎

  68. A.... P....

    Eu vos escrevi, jovens, porque sois fortes, e a palavra de Deus está em vós, e já vencestes o maligno. 1 João 2:14.
    I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and you have overcome the evil one. 1 John 2:14


    Eis que venho sem demora; guarda o que tens, para que ninguém tome a tua coroa. Apocalipse 3:11.
    Behold, I come without delay; keep what you have, so that no one takes your crown.

    I saw biblical texts in each stanza. Glory to God!

    Qualquer coisa q o Myles Kennedy canta eu gosto ,será porque eu o amo rsrsrs ♥️🤗

  75. R.... P....

    I thought miles spoke for me. I am clearly f****** wrong. What a b**** ass song this is. You're going to take the crown? Come and get it motherfuker. Who are you decide who has the crown? Based on the Bible ,which I'm assuming you are operating on, Satan has the crown in these last years you dumb motherfuke..r One (legion)has the crown.

  76. m.... t....

    Myles is a fucking beast he sounds so damn good 🤘

  77. A.... P....

    Someone should make a movie or game titled 'The League Of Unstoppables' and have this song as the soundtrack. Power vibe...

  78. C.... D....

    I'll only ever now to One King alone whose Crown is unmoveable, Jesus Christ.

  79. E.... J....

  80. M.... I....

    I am so so SO excited for the new album, I just know it's going to blow me away 😁 Been a fan since their debut, and they've only improved since

  81. C.... K....

    I'm so hype for this album. These guys haven't had an album less than amazing yet.

  82. C.... M....

    Here because of a meme and this shit sucks harder than my hoover. Alter bridge = manure!

    C.... M....

    Then how about this. Don't listen.

  83. A.... A....

    alter bridge ... perfeição!!!!

    Albums due to be released this year are from:
    Korn, Puddle Of Mudd, The Agonist, As I Lay Dying, Of Mice & Men, Opeth, Babymetal, Lacuna Coil, Alter Bridge, Norma Jean, Dream State

  85. C.... B....

    Hey everyone !!!!!! listen to Miles Kennedy's first band Mayfield Four and you will here Ian Thornley on his second album . The album is called second skin and it rocks!!!!!

  86. 2.... ....

    From what I've heard so far, this album isn't anything special. All the songs are monotonous and generic. Listen to songs like Burn It Down or Brand New Start and then listen to this.....it is like a totally different band and not for the better.

    2.... ....

    Sounds like the same band to me

  87. Z.... s....

    Definitely the best single thus far. Looks like we've got another solid album coming up!

  88. m.... ....

    Mark Tremonti is a monster song writer . Was listening to A Dying Machine yesterday and that is pure gold! This rocks

    m.... ....

    Saw Tremonti at Shepherd's Bush Empire and he was amazing

  89. A.... A....

    My favourite band, simply awesome , hello from malaysia

  90. F.... ....

    I can't wait to hear this in concert in October omg I can't wait!!

  91. s.... m....

    Thanks always alter bridge, about time for some new jam, please come to Toronto again ;)

    s.... m....

    They are, September 30

  92. S.... V....

    FIRST Good released song of this album. Seems i have to expect something good, at least... Nice work, Mr. Marshall... Nice Chorus... Nice Outro... very anthemic.

  93. H.... M....

    Imagine how good this will be live in concert

  94. A.... G....

    Can someone help me. I have tickets for the walk the sky tour in December( Birmingham) and how will the thing work with the other groups their with or whatever. Is it like the others will do they're acts first then alter bridge comes on to do the mains show? Or are they all together like 'taking turns'. Sorry I dont know much i just really loved Myles I saw slash live earlier this year with him, and then I was on alter bridge spotify and I played wouldnt you rather (obv I had already heard blackbird and words darker then their wings at the royal Albert hall thing) and now I'm in love with pay no mind I think Gatsby what it's called. Just wondering how its gonna work. Sorry for the long comment

    A.... G....

    ALH GUITAR Sevendust will get around half hour at the start, after a quick break Shinedown will get around an hour and then Alter Bridge will play the final 90-120 mins

    A.... G....

    @james griffith thank you! And are they all doing their own separate albums or are they all on walk the sky ?

    A.... G....

    @james griffith wait who's the raven age?;

    A.... G....

    @ALH GUITAR All doing separate albums. Raven Age are another band who will be joining them on different days of their European tour

  95. S.... C....

    I assimilate this song a lot to E-Sports It fits very well AB is amazing ❤️

  96. a.... ....

    I’m finally glad to hear the mix isn’t holding back the heavy crunch during transitions from lighter to heavier riffs. One of my biggest complaints for a lot of their songs is that the levels don’t change; you expect a punch and it’s more like a push. This sounds much better and I’m very happy.

    a.... ....

    Wow really what are you even talking about in one out the hole

  97. R.... ....

    🤘🤘

  98. A.... B....

    So far this is my favourite song of the three singles. It's melodic, harmonies on point like always, and I love the message in it. And I love how the guitars fade out in the end. Every element just works perfectly in this song!!

  99. A.... L....

    Soft mixing
