Underneath the desert sun
They bid my brother's blood to run
Many miles away
Hell has come today
Fire raining from the sky
See the face of fear asking one last time
Let me get home safe
Before it's too late
[Chorus:]
One by one
The brave will fall
Life is lost again
They gave it all
Deep within the castle walls
So many grieve as funeral songs
Echo endlessly
Ode to memories
This sacrifice of flesh and blood
For a promised land that may not be won
Let us not forget the hero laid to rest
[Chorus]
And they gave it all
A price we can't ignore
Is there hope in what they're dying for?
Fore every hero born
From every family torn
We will honor you forevermore

What is the meaning behind One By One lyrics?
When we delve into what the artist truly meant to convey, Alter Bridge's 'One By One' is a reflection on the sacrifices that individuals made during wars and the hard truth of the dead and the heroes who will not be forgotten. The metaphor 'castle walls' is a symbol for the memories that are stored and the battle that will never end for the land that has been promised. The lyrics of one by one mostly bring about thoughts, empowerment, inspiration, angst, and despair altogether. At the same time, the song highlights the issues of sacrifices, heroism, war and conflict, loss and grief, and hope and questioning. The lyrics deal with such heavy topics as violence, sacrifice, and death that may even be disturbing for children. The portrayal of war and the taking away of human lives, along with the whole somber and serious atmosphere, are the reasons why the song is suggested for ages 13 and up only to alert parents about the presence of mature subject matter. ✔️
