10 Best Alter Bridge Tracks

3. Words Darker That Their Wings

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc0xQStQxfc A song that really should be talked about and pulled apart more - if we were in an age where more people took good music seriously anyway - Words Darker stemmed from a conversation both Myles and Mark had one day about the nature of believing in a higher power, and if there's actually anything after this plain of existence we're trucking through. Myles takes the agnostic/atheistic point of view and Mark the forever-hopeful one, as the two trade some fantastically life-defining musings on the comfort of hope and the warmth of belief. Eventually they join up on the chorus, where they both reconcile that regardless of anything they wish each other the best, stating "Into the light may you know, truth alone". It's an immensely powerful track in every respect, and with the lyrics commonly misperceived as to be about a relationship gone sour, when you realise their real purpose it'll take on a new meaning that'll really stick with you.
