After signing with Wind-up Records, Alter Bridge released their debut album One Day Remains in August 2004, much of which was written by Tremonti the previous year. The album reached No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and, received mixed reviews, and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in November 2004. This was followed in 2007 by the more positively-reviewed Blackbird, which marked the beginning of a long partnership between the band and producer Michael Baskette. The album reached No. 13 in the U.S. and was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry.
Following continued activities with the members' other bands and side projects, Alter Bridge released AB III in 2010. It received critical acclaim and commercial success on Roadrunner Records, with its lead single "Isolation" topping the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. Alter Bridge released Fortress to further acclaim in 2013, as the band's members continued splitting their time between various projects. The Last Hero followed on Napalm Records in 2016, becoming the band's first album since its debut to reach the top ten of the Billboard 200, and its first to reach the top five of the UK Albums Chart. Their sixth studio album, Walk the Sky, was released in 2019, and was followed by Walk the Sky 2.0 in 2020. The band's seventh album Pawns & Kings was released on October 14, 2022.
As of 2023 Alter Bridge has sold over 5 million records worldwide.

Life Must Go On
Alter Bridge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're trying to find what you need to survive
You're so afraid
You can't go on
Left in the silence that tears at your heart
They only remind you how broken you are
You've lost your way
'Cause the sun always sets
The moon always falls
It feels like the end
Just pay no mind at all
Keep rolling
Rolling
Life must go on
Do you remember and long for the past?
When love was eternal
And joy seemed to last
Yesterday
Forever is gone
'Cause the sun always sets
The moon always falls
It feels like the end
Just pay no mind at all
Keep rolling
Rolling
Life must go on
It must go on
We have our misfortunes
The darkest of days
We must endure and keep strong
Just look to the morning
The promise awaits
And know that this life must go on
And the sun always sets
The moon always falls
It feels like the end
Just pay no mind at all
Keep rolling
Rolling
Life must go on
And the sun always sets
The moon always falls
It feels like the end
Just pay no mind at all
Keep rolling
Keep rolling
Life must go on
It must go on
Life must go on
Life must go on
When you're feeling alright (?)
So you keep rolling on
Keep rolling on
With your heart you'll be safe (?)
Life must go on
Life must go on
So you keep rolling on
Keep rolling on
The lyrics of Alter Bridge's song Life Must Go On speaks about overcoming the challenges we face in life. It describes a moment when one is feeling lost, afraid, and broken. The first verse talks about the feeling of hopelessness and the struggle to survive in a challenging moment. The second verse talks about longing for the past when love and joy seemed to last forever, and how that feeling is now gone. The chorus, which is repeated throughout the song, asserts that no matter how dark things may seem, life must go on. It encourages listeners to keep moving forward, to pay no attention to what may feel like the end, and to keep rolling through life's challenges.
The song is written in a beautiful, uplifting style, and it targets people who are going through a tough period in their lives. It aims to inspire them to keep going even in the face of adversity.

Sitting alone in the cold of the night
You are by yourself in the darkness of the night
You're trying to find what you need to survive
You're searching for what you need to continue living
You're so afraid
You're experiencing fear
You can't go on
You feel like you can't continue
Left in the silence that tears at your heart
You're left in a quiet, painful feeling that is overwhelming you
They only remind you how broken you are
The silence only shows you how damaged you feel inside
You've lost your way
You feel like you've gone on the wrong path
But hope is not gone
There is still hope left

And happiness appeared to go on forever
Yesterday
The past
Forever is gone
The eternal time period has ended
We have our misfortunes
We all experience bad luck
The darkest of days
The most difficult of times
We must endure and keep strong
We must persist and stay resolute

Look toward the future
The promise awaits
The future holds potential
And know that this life must go on

So you keep rolling on
So keep moving forward
Keep rolling on
Keep moving forward

Ilusiones
Eso siento cuando te hablo
Y tal vez me pierdo
Pensando que estamos conectados
Pero una vez me equivoqué
Volvamos a empezar
A ver detrás de esas falsas risas
Yo sintió la soledad tan pesada
Y tú estás ahí mirándome desdichada
Encuentro mi confidente
Pero ya es tarde para ver
Nada dura en el pasado
El presente se con todo.
Y soy un tonto que vive
Pensando que el mañana vendrá otra vez
Porque alguna vez intenté dejar marcas
Pero nada de lo que hago parece funcionar
Y sigo perdiendo en este momento
Me prestarás otra vez tu voz
Para dibujar una sonrisa en mi cara
Este momento se va y no quiero
No quiero dejar de intentar
Hasta escuchar tu canto
Y que me digas
Volvamos a empezar

Probably one of their most uplifting songs, when you're already sad.
