The Time Was Right Lyrics - The Partisans

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
