Alter Bridge - Waters Rising Lyrics






Now is the end of time a fool and his legacy are gone
His pride found another way to make sure it all went wrong
Awake in a new day our fears have come to pass
And this time they're gonna last. This time they're gonna last.

Don't let me drown! Don't let me drown!

Now all of the fields are burning it blocks out the sun
I see all the water rising to drown everyone

This is the season we tear our rivals down
This circle of tyrants will end us all right now
The earth has provided the means to burn it down
Well don't you see it now? Well don't you see it now?

Don't let me drown! Don't let me drown!

[Chorus:]
Now all of the fields are burning it blocks out the sun
I see all the water rising to drown everyone
This is tomorrow's way to end our days
Watch as the clouds they gather now to wash us away

Water is rising coming to wash it all way
There's no denying we were so wrong
Water is rising coming to wash the filth away
There's no denying we are so lost

Staring down the end of time every fear is realized
Crying out it's much too late there's nothing we can do to save
For the time has come

[Chorus]

Watch as the clouds, they gather now
To wash us away
At the end of days
The end of days

  17. R.... R....

    Mark has really grown as a singer. His backing vocals were always good in Creed, but they've advanced to a whole new level with his solo band. I like Myles as a singer, but I must say, I like Mark's deeper tone and style better.

  18. S.... B....

    Alter Bridge rips . Love Mark's voice, can't wait for new album.

  19. M.... ....

    Todays music is a shadow , TY Izzy

  20. w.... k....

    So under-rated band

  21. J.... W....

    This is my favorite song by Alter Bridge lyrically. "The Earth Has Provided The Means To Burn It Down" has stuck with me for years, and gives me chills each time. Amazing song.

  22. A.... P....

    Alter Bridge for President

    Meravigliosa.

  26. A.... P....

    Such a good song. And with Florence bearing down, gets you in the "mood."

  27. G.... ....

    the Myles / Mark Relationship is so amazing. they compliment each others voice's and each others guitar playing and they are both great at the two of those things.
    When you go to one of their shows you can see that unfolding itself to its fullest

  28. �.... ....

    I think mark should have done the vocals completely on this song.

  29. A.... C....

    Mark is amazing!!

  30. D.... C....

    what an intense song!!how could you not love it

  31. t.... t....

    Gah i love that you have these songs here.

  32. M.... B....

    Die beste Band der Welt!!!

  33. T.... O....

    MARK VOICE`S IS SO GOOD

  34. Z.... Y....

    My favorite song!......It's been so long

  35. M.... L....

    Mark tremonti, possibly, best guitar, far far best than Slash. Myles-Mark, perfect duo

    M.... L....

    Mark Tremonti and Slash are as good as each other. Just different styles!

    M.... L....

    *better

  36. K.... ....

    Great song! Would definitely like to see Mark sing more on AB songs.

    K.... ....

    Ketmandu Have you heard his solo band but I agree

  37. J.... W....

    "The earth has provided the means to burn it down"

    FUUUUUCK that is DEEP!

    J.... W....

    My girlfriend said the same thing, but not about the song...

  38. T.... R....

    Myles is good

  39. T.... R....

    My favorite song

  40. D.... Y....

    This song describes everything bad going on in the world today.🐒

  41. S.... ....

    Bro, Mark Tremonti AND Myles Kennedy. Alter Bridge is the luckiest band on earth.

  42. G.... T....

    mark voice remind me eddie vedder!

  43. P.... ....

    KYKY EPTA

  44. j.... ....

    Nothing like having two amazing vocalists both of whom could kick your ass on guitar! Alter Bridge FTW! \m/

  45. F.... Z....

    04:00 to 04:30 reminded me of Lanye Staley and Jerry Cantrell

  46. A.... S....

    Unpopular opinion, Mark Tremonti is a better singer than Myles Kennedy. The only thing Myles has over Mark is range.

    A.... S....

    Autistic Smartass Don't say tht to loud ahahahhah

    A.... S....

    Myles has a hard rock voice, while Mark has more of a metal voice. I like them both

    A.... S....

    That is why it is an unpopular opinion

  47. H.... A....

    My fav song:)xD

  48. f.... c....

    i love this song....soo much.

  49. d.... 7....

    Makes me think of Courage The Cowardly Dog.

    d.... 7....

    deadflight 78 ME TOO LOL

  50. C.... A....

    thank you.

  51. D.... ....

    Saturday Night, headphones on, JD in me Glass and air base guitar in hand....absolutely loving this song!!

  52. H.... N....

    mark's voice sounds like third day's singer voice, but better.... :)

    H.... N....

    Crazy Third Day growing up.. Tremonti grown up for me

  53. P.... M....

    great song

  54. Z.... Y....

    such power ♥️

  55. D.... H....

    I love the last 2 verses with Myles into Mark. Their vocals complemented each other there really well I feel.

  56. M.... ....

    Top 3 Alter Bridge's best song.

  57. C.... K....

    Great song! ❤

  58. S.... D....

    mark baced this song from the flood in the Bible thats why its called water rising

    S.... D....

    +Simon Dynek I think Myles actually wrote the lyrics, but said Mark sang it better than him.

    S.... D....

    Myles and Elvis (their producer) thought the song suits Mark as they already knew what kind of song Mark's singing in his own band.

  59. R.... ....

    Now that Myles is singing for Slash and Mark is singing in his own band, they should totally even things out on this AB 5th album. I love all three bands.

    R.... ....

    +RailfanTube Yup

    R.... ....

    Yeah why did they feature Mark's voice LESS on Last Hero? And over-layer, over-produce Myles voice? They went the wrong direction?

    R.... ....

    I wanted to hear him sing more lead vocals, but I am not sure if Mark's voice would benefit those songs. The Last Hero is a bit different thematically, having much more faster-paced poppier songs which are perfect for Myles (Show Me a Leader, Poison in Your Veins, The Writing on the Wall etc.) I could only imagine Mark's lead vocals working well on either Twillight, Losing Patience or Island of Fools, since those are a bit more different out of the other songs. But most of the time his backing vocals benefit the song more, giving some parts a lot of the depth which Myles' voice lacks. On the other hand, Fortress is like an epic-story album, with much heavier and darker stuff, and that is more suited for Mark's voice. Perfect examples are Waters Rising, Fortress and The Uninvited (Mark's voice in the chorus makes that song what it is). Mark is the boss of the band, and if he felt that his voice would not fit well, we should definitely be sure that is the right direction. I am a musician myself, but after all, Mark has much more knowledge and feel for the music than me or any of us here. Hope that I clarified it a bit for everyone complaining about the lack of Mark's voice on the new album.

    R.... ....

    @dzonyyya well said

  60. H.... W....

    why do Mark has to make all of his solos so catchy and out of ths world???!!! myles can do anything with his vocals and mark with his guitars....

    H.... W....

    I tkhink myles is quit😅💔

  61. D.... S....

    Creed should of kicked Scott out and let mark sing

    D.... S....

    Creed was already becoming boring.They felt that it was time to stop it.But rather than have Myles join the band as singer and be constantly compared,they decided to change their style and create a new band.Thus Alter Bridge was born.

    D.... S....

    Mahesh C Achuthanna Mark has said many times he was writing things that didn't match up with Scott's voice... Plus Scott was a drunk asshole at the time.

    D.... S....

    thats what they did! welcome alter bridge.

  62. J.... R....

    wow I've been living in a bubble
    where have I been hiding GGGGRRrrrrrrr
    fantastic

  63. C.... L....

    Really liked this video! All the best!!

  64. s.... ....

    such a badass group

  65. J.... R....

    What can you say. Alter Bridge is stacked with two great vocalists!

    J.... R....

    @Jordan Rosario and two great guitarists!

    J.... R....

    +Michael Manners Absolutely. Mark even says a lot that Myles is an even better guitarist than he is.

    J.... R....

    Trevor Schilling He's probably just being nice.. very nice.. :D Myles is awesome, but he's definitely much stronger with vocals.

    J.... R....

    and Legendary Guitarist

  66. m.... ....

    Words darker than their wings??? All I was??? I'm amazed at how people have never heard mark sing before this

    m.... ....

    my own prison?

    m.... ....

    michaelf2xx6 All I Was is one of the best rock/metal albums I've heard it just has that IT factor

  67. J.... ....

    His voice and guitar riffs give me chills. Not one song he sings with Alter Bridge or Slash doesn't make me crank it up n feel the music! One of the most talented men in music ever!!

  68. U.... P....

    Why has nobody mentioned the magical notes Myles hits from 3;29-3;34 that is why he is the best vocalist alive

    U.... P....

    more epic when he hit that final note live in the royal albert hall ;)

    U.... P....

    the very high "whistling" sound you hear comes from the surprisingly clean superposition of the harmonics of the 2 vocal lines at a specific frequency

    U.... P....

    Ilian Petit Oh you're one of those people ok

    U.... P....

    @Scotch hey,I'm just a huge nerd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    U.... P....

    @Ilian Petit Oh I caught on dw lol

  69. S.... L....

    Mark has an epic and very commanding voice, he sucks you in .. you have to listen to him haha. One of the best bands of the last decade!!!

    S.... L....

    Stan Lalin I know it's an old comment but I have to agree, that is the perfect way to describe Mark's voice

    S.... L....

    @Kat Jackson I have to agree with you having to agree

  70. O.... C....

    By far my favorite Alter Bridge song... so epic the way Mark sings it and then Myles till the end  pffff Amazing 

  71. K.... W....

    One of Alter Bridge's best songs. Mark is not only a great guitarist, but singer too!

    K.... W....

    I think the same

    K.... W....

    Matt Martinez Tremonti>AB>Creed

    K.... W....

    And a great writter

    K.... W....

    Writer*

    K.... W....

    and a great songwiter as well :)

  72. M.... M....

    A REAL MASTERPIECE!!!

  73. S.... ....

    Damn Mark, where have you been hiding that voice. Awesome rock with a hint of country voice. Just like Adam from Killswitch Engage.

    S.... ....

    Have you not heard his solo album?

    S.... ....

    No, I haven't. Have to check that out now. Thanks for the tip!

  74. M.... T....

    Tremonti :)

  75. N.... F....

    Pretty awesome hearing Mark and Myles singing together.

  76. R.... H....

    Story of Noah in the Bible straight up, all the hints are there, plus matches the movie if you've seen it.

    R.... H....

    While I agree, the move wasn't accurate with scripture. 

    R.... H....

    @D Stingray you could say that about any movie based off a book these days, pretty sad but oh well

    R.... H....

    @D Stingray Wasn't much to go off of to make it accurate lol the story in the bible is kind of brief, therefore leaving the parts left out for anyone to assume or imagine what may have happened. Although whenever I hear someone say that its so innacurate because of the rock monster this that help Noah. If you listen to the story those rock things are fallen angels that were thrown out of heaven to the earth and if I'm not mistaken their was recently not long ago a book that was in the bible that was hidden after king James version that tells of angels coming to earth and mating with humankind and making sort of demi gods and giants on the earth. It states that when God found out about the occurrence with angels and humans intermingling he threw the convicted angels to the earth, and was supposed they went to hell, but who knows could've been the situation that the filmmaker was trying to portray. Not sure if that book that was found was pre noahs existwnce or after. Noah had to have some sort of help from angels or god to build that big of an ark by himself. Just something to think about. 

    R.... H....

    @Ryan Hefner Yeah, what you are thinking of isn't really hidden in the Bible, you just have to really study and pay attention to the word. What you are talking about are called the Nephilum. They are kind of like a hybrid demon-human civilization, and there was actually a whole civilization of giants leading to the building of things like Stonehenge and those huge stone spheres in Eastern Europe. Really interesting you brought that up! I believe this is all in Genesis, but I'm not quite sure. Nice chatting with you though, most people have no idea about things like this. 

    R.... H....

    @D Stingray Yeah, no problem man I love talking about, even though this may not be considered actual record history. Im not sure if it specifically says whether they are the cause of certain building like the stonehenge because that far north in Europe wasnt really discovered or discussed at all in the bible the farthest they went was talk about the Gauls in Present day Germany, Rome, Greece, and such. But, I do agree it might be a good theory for sure!

  77. 7.... ....

    Love this song

  78. M.... A....

    90s touch in this song

  79. T.... L....

    Never realized Mark had such a great voice :) Of course, Myles is still my favorite vocalist EVER, but great, great singing from Mark! The fusion of their voices in some parts of the song makes my ear float on a cloud of awesomeness.

    T.... L....

    I have all their records and I agree, that song is great! Cheers for the suggestion, though ;)

    T.... L....

    No Problem! Cheers \m/

    T.... L....

    Myles is one hell of a vocalist. But I dare to say, that to my ear, Mark even sounds better than miles. If myles has singed this song, I dont think it would've sound as much as awesome it does now to me :)

    T.... L....

    @Lauri Käpyaho Say what you want about their Tones. But Myles has way more range.

    T.... L....

    @Lauri Käpyaho I wouldn't go that far. Myles is better but tremonti is good.

  80. A.... S....

    Mark Tremonti as a vocalist is incredible! Myles kennedy is also awesome but i dont think he could tremontied it like he does on this song! My favorite song from the forteess album !

    A.... S....

    I agree with the fact that Mark is amazing here, but let's face it, Myles can do ANYTHING. :)

    A.... S....

    True that, i really like watch over you live in amsterdam with only myles.. I can`t wait until i get the ten year anniversary box :D

  81. G.... G....

    one of the best songs on the album mindblowing

  82. T.... H....

    My favorite. Bass drum kicks serious ass!!

  83. Z.... N....

    I love the whole album but I love this song the most

  84. R.... ....

    Awesome Duet...wish they'd do more of them.

  85. M.... ....

    *Replay*

  86. D.... S....

    Same with the Nottingham gig! Didn't think they layed much Fortress tbh, but Cry of Achilles was unbelievable! Still an epic night!

  87. N.... J....
