Twenty-Five Years

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 --- Twenty-Five Years - Halford
