THE TIME WAS RIGHT


Someone said the time was right 
Each word was so sincere
His friends smiled and raised a glass 
Then drank another beer
Their hearts were strong with feelings 
For they knew what they had found
A whole new world was waiting 
For the men who stood their ground

 The time was right The time was right
 But the time for truth was over
 The time was right The time was right
 But now that time is dead and gone

People cried tears of blood 
As the young men marched away
Prayers were heard from the crowd 
"Return them safe one day"
But all night long 
As darkness filled the sky
The old man's friend was dreaming 
Of the day when he would die

The sun shone on the battlefield 
Where a lonely figure stands
Full of shame he cries out loud 
This is something I don't understand
The days are short but the nights so long 
When you can't stop thinking back
Betray your trust to someone 
And he'll stab you in the back
