“It’s lyrically a pretty dark album, probably the darkest record I’ve been a part of.” (auf Blabbermouth).

Gut, wer Kennedys musikalische Vergangenheit kennt weiss, das muss nicht viel heissen. Dennoch würde ich mich freuen mal einen etwas veränderten Alter Bridge Sound zu hören, schließlich sollten sowohl Myles durch seine Zeit mit Slash als auch der Rest der Band, der in der Zwischenzeit wieder mit Creed unterwegs war, genug kreative Impulse von aussen gesammelt haben. 2 Songs konnte man schon vorab online hören (siehe unten)

14 Songs umfasst die Tracklist für AB III insgesamt:
1. Slip To The Void
2. Isolation
3. Ghost Of Days Gone By
4. All Hope Is Gone
5. Still Remains
6. Make It Right
7. Wonderful Life
8. I Know It Hurts
9. Show Me A Sign
10. Fallout
11. Breathe Again
12. Couer D’alene
13. Life Must Go On
14. Words Darker Than Their Wings

Isolation – zumindest klingt noch nach alt bekanntem – aber es rockt

Und die Ballade Words Darker Than Their Wings

Leonard Cohen – Hallelujah Lyrics

Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well really, what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
