When the Time Comes
by Jon Eric

You will bare your teeth
When the time comes
You will scare the meek
When the time comes

You've waited three years
Don't back out now
When the time comes
Knit your brow

You will go upstairs
When the time comes
You will know where
When the time comes

Believe in yourself
If you don't, who will?
When the time comes
Shoot to kill

("He's shot bad. Hold it. Try and look up.")*

You will see his car
When the time comes
You will be a star
When the time comes

The moment is passing
Ready or not
When the time comes
[shot]

[clip from a radio news broadcast]

There is no way out of this prison
But through the hole I made with the gun in the crook of my arm

*Well... kinda. I don't want to overexplain my own song, but you might consider Googling that phrase if you're interested.
Woo hoo! Implied rhyme!

This is a pretty song. I think the solo should be louder. I like where the drums are in the mix. The tension built is nice, I think it could release into a louder more intense section. Your vocals stay pretty soft throughout. God stuff!

I expected to hear Neil Young before the rimshot beat started. Strong idea, well executed. The news bits are well paced and the gun sample is very good. Sad vibe is effective.
