Fable of the Silent Son Lyrics
[Intro]
Lost where we can't escape
Blind to our own decay
Lamenting when we can't let go
Until we heal, we die alone
We hope that it's not too late
I used to lie awake
And sing this song
Fear is a hollow place
A dark beyond
The coldest season that
I've ever known
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
Times have changed
And I have changed
It's hard to recognize thе person that I was
But a wasted life is still worth saving
I was too scarеd to fight
Forgiveness wouldn't come
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
Times have changed
Lost where we can't escape
Blind to our own decay
Lamenting when we can't let go
Until we heal, we die alone
We hope that it's not too late
I used to lie awake
And sing this song
Fear is a hollow place
A dark beyond
The coldest season that
I've ever known
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
Times have changed
And I have changed
It's hard to recognize thе person that I was
But a wasted life is still worth saving
I was too scarеd to fight
Forgiveness wouldn't come
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
Times have changed
[Verse 1]
Those were the darkest days
I never will return
This I confess so you may learn
Convey the truth, the pain
So you won't have to hurt
Please never second guess these words
[Chorus]
Like a phoenix rising from the dust
I've come to lift you up
Like a new day dawning from above in turn
So you may learn
A lesson from the things I've done
A fable of the silent son
[Verse 2]
And buried way below
We have our deep regrets
With waves of anger to respect
We face our demons with intentions to protect
Our future angels for what's next
[Chorus]
Like a phoenix rising from the dust
I've come to lift you up
Like a new day dawning from above in turn
So you may learn
A lesson from the things I've done
Those were the darkest days
I never will return
This I confess so you may learn
Convey the truth, the pain
So you won't have to hurt
Please never second guess these words
[Chorus]
Like a phoenix rising from the dust
I've come to lift you up
Like a new day dawning from above in turn
So you may learn
A lesson from the things I've done
A fable of the silent son
[Verse 2]
And buried way below
We have our deep regrets
With waves of anger to respect
We face our demons with intentions to protect
Our future angels for what's next
[Chorus]
Like a phoenix rising from the dust
I've come to lift you up
Like a new day dawning from above in turn
So you may learn
A lesson from the things I've done
[Bridge]
A fable of the silent son
A warning of the things to come
Foreshadowing the end for some
Who dare and lose it all
A fable of the silent son
A warning of the things to come
Forgive me for the things I've done
I could have lost it all
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
I used to lie awake
And sing this song
Fear is the hollow place
A dark beyond
The coldest season that
I've ever known
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
[Chorus]
Like a phoenix rising from the dust
I've come to lift you up
Like a new day dawning from above in turn
So you may learn
A lesson from the things I've done
A fable of the silent son
A warning of the things to come
Foreshadowing the end for some
Who dare and lose it all
A fable of the silent son
A warning of the things to come
Forgive me for the things I've done
I could have lost it all
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
I used to lie awake
And sing this song
Fear is the hollow place
A dark beyond
The coldest season that
I've ever known
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
[Chorus]
Like a phoenix rising from the dust
I've come to lift you up
Like a new day dawning from above in turn
So you may learn
A lesson from the things I've done
[Outro]
A fable of the silent son
A fable of the silent son
A fable of the silent son
A fable of the silent son
A fable of the silent son
A fable of the silent son

What did Alter Bridge say about "Fable of the Silent Son"?
Genius Answer
Myles Kennedy:
You can hear somebody being honest about past mistakes and saying, ‘Don’t make those mistakes.’ It’s imparting those lessons learned through struggle to someone else, so they don’t have to endure the same pain. It’s just heavy.
