Songtext von 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
