about

[Steve]: This was the first track we ever recorded. I wrote all the music for this song, to which Brett added lyrics many months after. It was the collaboration on this song that started Electric Candle.

[Brett]: After listening to Steve's original music tracks, it was this tune that stood out. It had a powerful, driving melody yet a pop hook that I was immediately drawn to. I suggested Steve complete the song and offered to write the lyrics and sing, both a first. He agreed, and so it goes.

lyrics

Hey there man, listen here
a day is coming, the day draws near
the dead shall rise, meet Jesus in the air
four horsemen shall ride, it’s a time to fear

The King is Coming
The King is Coming
Pure and White
Power outta sight
The King is Coming
The King is Coming

He who has an ear, let him hear
worthy is the Lamb the angels will cheer
the seals will be open, the earth laid bare
the wrath of God is coming there’s no time to spare

The King is Coming
The King is Coming
Pure and White
Power outta sight
The King is Coming
The King is Coming

No time to wait, no don’t hesitate
He knocks at the door for just a little while more
won’t you ask him in, sit and dine with him
please don’t say no, the trumpet’s about to blow

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
the Word of God you can’t outrun
He’s coming on the clouds, the Faithful and True
the King of Kings, satan’s day is through

My King is Coming
My King is Coming
Pure and White
Power outta sight
My King is Coming
My King is Coming

My King is Coming
My King is Coming
Power and Mite
Gonna make it Right
My King is Coming
My King is Coming
