Lyrics This Is the Time (1990) - Savatage

Watching in silence I hesitate
It was not in the plans
All of our lives we could only wait
It was out of our hands
And every war where we took the day
It was all in our heads
And though in the dark we dream at night
They were better unsaid
But this is the time
And this is the place
And these are the signs
That we must embrace
The moment is now
In all history
The time has arrived
And this is the one place to be, yeah, yeah
We placed our years in the hourglass
They were never unearned
And we seemed destined to watch them pass
It was never our turn
But this is the time
And this is the place
And these are the signs
That we must erase
The moment is now
In all history
The time has arrived
And this is the one place to be, yeah, yeah
This is the time
And this is the place
And these are the signs
That we must erase
The moment is now
In all history
The time has arrived
And this is the one place to be, yeah, yeah
