The Time Was Right - 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
