Savatage – This Is The Time lyrics

(Oliva/O'Neill/Caffery/Middleton)

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 dead
It was all in our heads
And though we looked up we dreamed 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
A time has arrived
And this is the one place to be

[guitar solo at 1:42-2:14]

We faced our years in the hourglass
They were never undone
Had we seemed destined to watch the past
It was never our turn

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
A time has arrived
And this is the one place to be

[guitar solo at 3:10-4:08]

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
A time has arrived
And this is the one place to be

[guitar solo at 4:40-5:40]
