Alter Bridge - Last Rites Lyrics

[Verse]
I've seen the future
Yeah the writing's on the wall
And it don't look that good to me
Tear at the sutures
Put in place to save us all
Well that's your right but wait and see

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't know
Where this goes
Wait until tomorrow
You don't know
Where this goes
One day you will see

[Chorus]
There'll be no last rites
The future's all but set in stone
Say goodbye
To the only way of life you've ever known
That you've ever known
That you've ever known
That you've ever known

[Verse]
Protest the boundaries
Put in place that hold you down
Scream in defiance, storm the gates
Put out a bounty
That might serve you well for now
But in the end you'll seal our fate
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't know
Where this goes
Wait until tomorrow
Oh no, here we go
Again

[Chorus]
There'll be no last rites
The future's all but set in stone
Say goodbye
To the only way of life you've known
There's no time
To wallow in the undertow
The last rites
Are screaming in the distance
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go
You had to have it your way
Now we know

[Bridge]
Ok you've got your rights
But don't wrong tomorrow
I guess we all lose sight
With no one left to follow
Here me laugh now
As embers fall like snow
Nothing matters now
Well I told you so
[Chorus]
There'll be no last rites
The future's all but set in stone
Say goodbye
To the only way of life you've known
There's no time
To wallow in the undertow
The last rites
Are screaming in the distance
Here we go

[Outro]
Here me laugh now
As embers fall like snow
Nothing matters now
Well I told you so
