Alter Bridge - Cry of Achilles (Official Video)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2014
- Directed by SiLee Films
An unimaginable menace threatens the peace and security of a mythical kingdom. Who or what can protect them?
Taking inspiration from the Greek legend of Achilles and set against a mythical backdrop, we set out to make a film that would hopefully match the epic themes presented in the song.

The instant that intro started it was obvious it was going to be Edge coming out. I thought he was going to use the full theme (which is really great), but Metalingus is HIS theme
I agree, the first time listening to the album the first song just blew me away. I played it on repeat for days as I painted the inside of our new home.
This song is something beautiful
But don't close you eyes then it will die
+JDevilGAmer DRjuciyfruit xD so true
I argue this is a top ten rock song of the decade Maybe even top 5. From a production perspective it is perfect. From a performance standpoint, It has all the elements of an instant classic that will only get better with time.
I fucking concur. It's fucking amazing
Top 45683 song of the decade
100% with you
For real these guys do not get enough attention. If you like this vocal style though check us out were heavily influenced by these guys

It's amazing how diverse and complex this song is:
1. Intro I > 0:00 - 0:33
2. Intro II > 0:33 - 1:07
3. Bridge I > 1:07 - 1:41
4. Verse I > 1:41 - 2:12
5. Chorus > 2:12 - 2:40
6. Verse II > 2:47 - 3:17
7. Chorus > 3:17 -3:44
8. Bridge II > 3:44 - 4:40
9. Solo I > 4:40 - 5:11
10. Chorus > 5:11 - 5:38
11. Solo II > 5:38 - 6:06
12. Ending > 6:06 - 6:34
This is amazing. It is using so many different parts glueing it together in 1 piece. It has a story, a message and leaves nothing to say or ask, just wanting more of it. My favorite parts are 3&8 (1:07 - 1:41 and 3:44 - 4:40) by the way. I love how the 8th part somehow sucks the speed out of the song while applying even more pressure and intensity. That's what a bridge should be like.
Damn this song is just amazing. Good job, Alter Bridge!
Prog.
Shit!
"Bridge I" is actually the verse, and "Verse I" is the pre-chorus.
it's not that deep brother
Crying out.
Now you can't escape you are buried in doubt
And it pulls you down
Now you're in too deep you may never get out
Such an awful place
Tear it down
It's almost too late is the end coming now
As you scream out loud
You sever the peace til your truth has been found
Is there nothing left to follow?
Is there nothing left to steal?
Crying out for something more than I've been shown
Knowing none of this is real
Don't close your eyes
Something beautiful is still alive
Don't close your eyes
Never turn away and let it die
I cannot seem to find the answers
Every truth has slipped away
All that riddles me will never cease to be
Still I search this world in vain
Don't close your eyes
Something beautiful is still alive
Don't close your eyes
Never turn away and let it die
Cry out to save tomorrow
It's not too late
Or your heavy heart will follow
You to the grave
This is not the end. This is not the end
Don't close your eyes
Something beautiful is still alive
Don't close your eyes
Never turn away and let it die
We can't hesitate, hope is not too late
For the time has come, what have we become?
Nothing left to do but deny the truth

This song gave me goosebumps, is so epic.
this is DEFINITELY one of the coolest music videos i've ever seen. who else agrees with me?
and one of the coolest songs.
ya
+Alexander Henning you got that right man.
Both highly underrated and I truly mean that. So much so I can say that there are plenty of better tracks and video's but this deserves easily 10x it's exposure for it's artistic and musical merit.
I find myself coming back too this video and track from AB extremely often.
It fulfills some deeply emotional shit (That I cannot explain) in me every time.
Check out some of the adult swim videos done for flying lotus. I think you'll like em :)
Best intro and outro of any song ever.
wouldn't say that but still pretty epic
The outro is the best part of the song imo
Gojira?
Edge introduced me. Alter bridge kept me.
Same lol. I warched wrestling for about a year as a kid, but have been a fan of alter bridge for like 15 years
Alterbridge is All Elite
Both
The rated R suuuuuuperstarrr!!!
Edge AEW debut opening music
I think I know him
Don't close your eyes. Something beautiful is still alive. Just awesome. This whole song is a piece of art.
2018 and Alter Bridge is still underrated af.
2018 WAS 5 YEARS AGO?
Alter bridge continues to smash anyone else in the genre as far as message, musicianship, and originality!!!
Edges AEW debut bought me here
This is definitely one of my top 10 songs. What's even better is I showed my buddies this song...They were always the ones showing me good songs, well I got them hard on this one! I fucking love Alter Bridge!
Samurai Jack style
+Empjori - When I first seen this music video (and I first seen this in Guitar Hero Live), the artstyle did remind me a bit of a mix between Samurai Jack and Xiaolin Showdown.
How have I not seen this before?!?!?! This is incredible!!
Rated R Superstar Adam Copeland is ALL ELITE !
Love everything about this song. The intro, vocals, guitars and drums... Perfection 🤩
4:26 wtf guitar and vocal is awsome
Beautiful
agreed
For people who want to know the story of the video, below is the story as written by the creators of the video.
The Full Story - SPOILERS!
The King and Queen of a distant, mythical land are taking a romantic stroll in the forest when they come across a magnificent silver tree. Embedded in its trunk lies an exotic jewel. The King is drawn by its intoxicating power and pulls it from its resting place.
Without the jewel at the trees heart an almighty evil is unleashed. The King, under the jewels influence, mistakes his Queen for an evil demon and runs his sword through her.
Distraught, he blames the demon and the forest for the loss of his beloved wife.
Over the years, the forest sends out demons of increasing size to the Kings citadel to retrieve the jewel but the King constructs his own defence, the Titan, to keep them at bay. The Titan is forged using the magical powers of the jewel and the blood of the King. For many years the Titan fights for the safety of the city and its people under command of the King. The King, knowing that he will not be able to protect his city for much longer, passes the responsibility to his son, the Prince.
However, the Princess has to take control of the Titan after her brother fails to fight off the latest and largest demon. She is given a vision of how the war began when she comes in contact with the demon. The forest needs the jewel to be returned to its rightful place to lock away the evil spirit once more.
The King finally admits the error of his ways and offers the jewel to his daughter so that she may return it to the forest.

In my opinion, there was no evil spirit. Just a raging furious forest spirit who wants their jewel back (like in Moana film where the goddess became furious after her heart been stolen by Maui).
That King was an ass, his Queen showed him her favourite secret spot and then the first thing he done was he destroyed it when he took the jewel, and then mistaken her as forest spirit and kill her!
Really felt sorry to the Queen...
Thank you.
Awesome! Nice description
awesome, for some years i've watched this video but never could figure out the proper story
My son loves the story and the song
I can't believe this song has so little views, because this is AWESOME... The whole world needs to hear this song!!
I couldn't agree more bro
I been wondering the same thing!!
Leonardo Faria the vid is cool, but people wanna see performance with Rock. I would better dollars to donuts that if they did a performance music vid it would be huge. The breakdowns alone would be epic to watch!
yes i agree all the songs of AB are amazing excellent i love both the same i still do not know what is my favourite song it is hard to say every song means something to me
Up!
This... this bloody song...
This is a masterpiece of guitar work.
Jesus.
Ikr, I want Slash to play it with Myles too..!
Using parts from 2 songs (this one and Metalingus) was a nice touch in Edge's AEW debut.
Just came here after watching Edge debut at AEW Wrestledream!!!
Adam Copley
I love this video, so sad, ominous, and awesome all at the same time
The end is the best. my favorit song at the moment!
the intro is great
Anyone here because Edge’s AEW debut?
ADAM M'FING COPELAND IS ALL ELITE
El segundo solo, el de Mark, es una completa bestialidad. Es épico, increíble, hace que mi cabeza vuele, estalle. Creo que hace que la canción llegue a su punto máximo de epicidad, a su punto más alto y a la vez cúlmine. Sólo esa increíble habilidad y talento de Mark pueden lograrlo. AMAZING!!!
I highly recommend anyone to go see them live, amazing! Miles sings to the back of the room
watching them live was the 1st time I ever heard them.. they opened up for... I think Disturbed? Just goes to show how amazing they were, i remember them before I can remember the headliners.
Everything about this song makes the hairs on the back of my neck go up. Thank you guitar hero live for introducing me to this incredible song :D
youre so damn right
greetings from germany ;)
+Snowboardking454 Word, that's what I was just telling a friend about this song haha that chorus man, if my neck hairs aren't already standing up that chorus guarantees they immediately are!
+Mylo X. Totaly agreing! Alter bridge is more than underrated.
watching this on inverse colours makes it look like there is a nice creature coming to say hello and the dark palace is like "lol no f u"
+guy1479 how can you watch this on inverse colours
WaterHard on android "inverse colours" if i remember rightly

guy1479 i

Adam Copeland is All Elite!
Here after Adam's AEW debut. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Why are so many people saying the video is bad? I think it's awesome and fits pretty well with the actual song.
Yes : ) . Awesome. 1:00. LaLa...LaLa....Lala. Just amazing. On of the best music video's ever.
People have to bitch. It comes naturally to them to follow the masses. Sheep my friend....
Kalevi Rotmg IKR I LOVED IT!!!!!
The video is great!
Yep
OH. MY. GOD. I absolutey LOVE Mark's solo in this song! One of my favorite songs from Fortress. masterpiece! :D
Fortress is a masterpiece from beginning to end
This song right here is literally everything I love about rock music put into one song. Awesome lyrics, incredible vocals, powerful drumming, excellent base, great riffs, catchy chorus, phenomenal guitar solos (especially that second one 🤤), and even a fantastic music video. This is music at its peak and easily one of the best songs ever made. You really can’t do any better than this. Excellent work as always Alter Bridge
Ever made? 😂
Aew
I love this song and like the guitar solo in it also who agrees with me that the guitar is awesome.
It's nice not having to focus on a guitar controller when you watch this.
Edge to AEW confirmed
Edge coming back to AEW brought me here
The solo bass part is crazy at a live show
I've listened to this song many times over the years. I love it as much as the first time still.
This modern day Achilles Last Stand.
I love everything about this song forever 🎸❤💯🎸❤💯
Heard this live at Dublin in December. First time ever hearding this song, criminally underrated!
I love that it’s the princess who ends up conquering the darkness monster! She’s badass!
I wonder how many people know this is a fan submission for a video that Alter Bridge accepted for the official video
All of their fans
Just to be clear, they were actively asking for submissions. It wasn't just a random thing that they decided to make into the official video. It was an open call for ideas.
It takes much greater ' Imagination ' & understanding to get a meaning of such videos & art . All those who say this video sucks or is a joke , don't have it .
ure right. the video is awesome
Bit late but your point still stands and I agree.
It's easy to claim that someone's art sucks because it's not hyper realism and exact proportions as real life, but sometimes stylised art just fits a situation way too well. For example, I draw realism and anime, and I tend to draw in anime for more expressive things because this art style shows emotions with way more power and expression than real people ever can. Try to think of a person doing more extreme anime expressions. It looks and feels weird and awkward.
*to be fair, you do need a high IQ to understand alter bridge's music videos*
sorry, i had to lmao
2019 anyone?🤘
yep
It seems that Clouse's wife had ventured onto the set of the film and was mesmerized by Lee's incredible physique as he went through his paces choreographing the fight scenes for the film, stripped to the waist under the hot and humid Hong Kong sun.
In between takes, Ann approached the young superstar and asked if she could "feel his biceps."
"Sure," Lee responded -- it was a request he'd received on numerous occasions -- tensing his arm and inviting her to check it out for herself.
"My God!" she exclaimed, drawing her hand back instantly, "It's like feeling warm marble!"
Yep
Naww just 2029
I can't get this song out of my head. LOOVE IIIIIT!
I am big die heart fan of AB
This song is absolutely brilliant. Pure genius.

Why do I love this video so much? Usually I just listen to songs but I actually WATCH this one..
I came here after they played live in Glasgow yesterday

The world is in desperate need of more gorgeous hard rock like this.
This song doesn't get enough attention that it deserves
I've loved the song for years before actually watching the video and the video makes it even more epic!
Lyric:
Crying out.
Now you can't escape you are buried in doubt
And it pulls you down
Now you're in too deep you may never get out
Such an awful place
Tear it down
It's almost too late is the end coming now
As you scream out loud
You sever the peace til your truth has been found
Is there nothing left to follow?
Is there nothing left to steal?
Crying out for something more than I've been shown
Knowing none of this is real
Don't close your eyes
Something beautiful is still alive
Don't close your eyes
Never turn away and let it die
I cannot seem to find the answers
Every truth has slipped away
All that riddles me will never cease to be
Still I search this world in vain
Don't close your eyes
Something beautiful is still alive
Don't close your eyes
Never turn away and let it die
Cry out to save tomorrow
It's not too late
Or your heavy heart will follow
You to the grave
This is not the end. This is not the end
Don't close your eyes
Something beautiful is still alive
Don't close your eyes
Never turn away and let it die
We can't hesitate, hope is not too late
For the time has come, what have we become?
Nothing left to do but deny the truth
One of the best musics EVER.
❤️❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸The very best band of all time

This is so amazing. The song is amazing, the video is amazing, and when combined together it's too much for my little brain to handle
Masterpiece, great intro, great song, great solos and great vídeo
How do you even make such an amazing song and riff like this?! I can’t even fathom to the process
This song is so underrated, I love it so much.

Really like the music when the battling begins
The guitar solo gives me goosebumps

Also, love this song!
Incredible animation and it works so well with the epic song!
