Judas Priest - Epitaph

Sad Wings of Destiny (1976) Lyrics:

The old man's sitting there, his head bowed down
Every now and then he'll take a look around
And his eyes reflect the memory-pain of years gone by
He can't regain nostalgic dreams he'll never see again

With trembling hands, he wipes a tear
Many fall like rain, there's one for every year
And his life laid out so clearly now, life that's brought death
So nearly now life once he clung to dearly lets go

But spare a thought as you pass him by
Take a closer look and you'll say
He's our tomorrow, just as much as we are his yesterday

A lonely grave, and soon forgot
Only wind and leaves lament his mournful song
Yet they shout his epitaph out clear
For anyone who's passing near
It names the person lying here as you
And you...and you...and you...

he IS the best. He was in the 70's, in the 80's, 90's, 00's and NOW, and FOREVER.

This isn't Their last tour guys. It's their last "World" Tour. And they are currently writing new material for future albums.

Some of Halford's best vocals ever was on his "Resurrection" album, 2001.

[KodieGregory]

[blade0954]

classic song from one of the greatest albums of all time

This song kind of reminds me of an Elton John ballad.
