Cradle to the Grave is a somewhat focusing on the inevitability of time, and all the things we lose along the way. Such themes aren’t anything new, considering the band have talked about it in “Watch over you” and AB III’s bonus track, “Never born to follow”.
Cradle to the Grave Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mother, tell me
I long to hear the stories
Just like long ago
All these memories
Start to fade before me
I cannot let them go
No, I can't let them go
[Chorus]
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place when you're gone, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Father, stay here
Don't leave me like the other
Know I need you so
All you gave me
Father, how you love me
Treated like your own
Don't ever let me go
[Chorus]
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place when you're gone
[Bridge]
There's no way to deny the brevity of life
[Guitar Solo]
As time keeps marching on, all we have is lost
[Guitar Solo]
As time keeps marching on, all we have is lost
Nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same
[Chorus]
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place when you're gone
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place when you're gone
[Outro]
How am I to carry on
How am I to carry on
(As time keeps marching on)
How am I to carry on?
(All we have is lost)
Nothing lasts forever, nothing ever stays the same

In enterview to musicradar.com:
Myles: “Musically, the verses came from me and the main riff came from Mark. It’s a heavy song lyrically and was written right after my mother-in-law had fallen ill, and it essentially deals with the idea that our parents aren’t going to be around forever and the emo...
