about

“Your Time Has Come” is part of the album-in-the-making, “Sounds Like Home”. All songs on “Sounds Like Home” are created using ordinary objects I found in my home and repurposed into musical instruments.
On “Your Time Has Come” I played bathtub, rice can shaker, acoustic guitar, and handpans.

lyrics

· · · · · · · · · · · · ·
Come along, gather around,
I will relieve you
You will soon sleep safe and sound,
And I will grieve you
You’ll no longer be needed, but thanks for your service

Come along, gather around,
I will forgive you
You will no longer be bound
And I will give you
All you need to be comforted, calm and complying

Isn’t it right, isn’t life bright,
Till you decide to think
Isn’t it fine to be all mine
Till you awake and blink

I’m your Lord of hosts
I’m the one in command of you ghosts
And I command: Your time has come

Come along, gather around,
I need to warn you
Some of you claim to have found
New clothes to warm you
They say reason will comfort and calm you unshaken

Come along, gather around,
I need to tell you
They who dismiss me ain’t sound
Their clothes won’t warm you
It is reason that started all trouble in Eden

Isn’t it right, isn’t life bright,
Till you decide to think
Isn’t it fine to be all mine
Till you awake and blink

I’m your Lord of hosts
I’m the one in command of you ghosts
And I command: Your time has come

I’m your Lord of hosts
I’m the one in command of you ghosts
And I command: Your time has come
Your time has come

Lord, oh Lord, please leave us be, let us
Live our lives unscathed by Thee
Lord, oh Lord, leave us alone, we are
Prone no more to Your dull drone
