Twenty-five Years Lyrics - Rob Halford

I can't remember 

When the moment started 

It creeps up 

When you least expect to fail 

You try to tell yourself 

That you are selfless 

But that's the big mistake 

That sets your sail 

The signs are all around you 

But you miss them 

You turn your back 

On every friend you know 

The games you play 

To justify your madness 

Will leave you crying 

For the pain that grows 

[Chorus] 

Twenty-five years, twenty-five years 

I tried to be a man and face my fears 

Twenty-five years, twenty-five years 

I've had the devil on my back for twenty five years 

For when you fall 

You have to reach the bottom 

And count your blessings 

That you're still alive 

That's when you look 

To someone who was with you 

At every single step 

Right by your side 

It's said from this you grow 

Inside much stronger 

That may be true 

But I am still so weak 

There's days that seem 

So endless makes me wonder 

Will something come 

To close this losing streak 

[Chorus] 

I'm tired and so lonely 

From this journey 

And still can't figure out 

Some things I've said 

But all I know 

Is there's a place that's calling 

I'll find that place 

And rest my weary head 

Twenty-five years 

Twenty-five years 

I tried to be a man 

And face my fears 

Twenty-five years 

Twenty-five years 

I've had the devil on my back 

For twenty five years
