Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls
Leave the peace alone
How we all are slowly changing
Dims a fading light
In our souls
In my opinion seeing is to know
The things we hold
Are always first to go
And who's to say
We won't end up alone
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
And I'll search for so long
Cry ourselves to sleep
We will sleep alone forever
Will you lay me down
In the same place with all I love
Mend the broken homes
Care for them they are our brothers
Save the fading light in our souls
In my opinion seeing is to know
What you give
Will always carry you
And who's to say
We won't survive it too
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
And I'll search for so long
Set a-free all
Relying on their will
To make me all that I am
And all that I'll be
Set a-free all
Will fall between the cracks
With memories of all that I am
And all that I'll be
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
And I'll search for so long
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls
Leave the peace alone
How we all are slowly changing
Dims a fading light
In our souls
In my opinion seeing is to know
The things we hold
Are always first to go
And who's to say
We won't end up alone
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
And I'll search for so long
Cry ourselves to sleep
We will sleep alone forever
Will you lay me down
In the same place with all I love
Mend the broken homes
Care for them they are our brothers
Save the fading light in our souls
In my opinion seeing is to know
What you give
Will always carry you
And who's to say
We won't survive it too
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning

On skinned knees

And it won't be long

And I'll search for so long

Relying on their will
To make me all that I am
And all that I'll be
Set a-free all

With memories of all that I am
And all that I'll be
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
And I'll search for so long
Broken Wings fue incluida en el disco One Day Remains, publicado en 2004 por la banda estadounidense Alter Bridge. Con este, su primer y de momento único album, alcanzaron el disco de oro en Estados Unidos y el de platino internacionalmente.
La canción que nos ocupa, fue el tercer single de dicho album, y tuvo una actuación discreta en las listas de éxitos, con un poco destacable puesto #29 en el US Mainstream Rock.
El tema desprende una calidad indudable, en especial por la guitarra, siempre resaltable en todas y cada una de las canciones de este grupo. Y es que no es para menos, viniendo de donde vienen estos muchachos, que formaban parte, excepto el solista, del grupo estadounidense Creed (de los que publicaré una entrada muy pronto, que ya toca).
Si bien la voz de Myles Tremonti es más bien de tono típico de cantante de metal, esta canción en concreto se ajusta mas al rock alternativo, aunque ese matiz metalero no se lo quita nadie, voz potentísima la de Myles.
En cuanto a la letra, es de una asombrosa calidad, y parece que les dio por plantear un poco el sentido de nuestra existencia por estos lares. Pero como dice muchas cosas, mejor que lo veáis por vosotros mismos, y ya que estoy, si queréis traducción, pedidlo, puede que empiece a hacerlo si veo que hay gente que lo necesita.
Atención al comienzo y final de la canción, es espectacular.
Por cierto, muy pronto, en concreto mañana, sale a la venta (en teoría), su nuevo album titulado Blackbird. Os informaré en unos días sobre ello. De momento, para abrir boca quedaos con esta, que es de las buenas buenas, creedme.
