Music video

A music video was released for the song on April 22, 2014.[2] The video begins with the intro track "Ocean Floor" and shows vocalist Jonny Hawkins at the bottom of an ocean, having recently broken free from a chain. The video then cuts to a scene of Hawkins walking towards the ocean, chained by the leg to a boulder. When "This Is the Time" begins, Hawkins drops the boulder into the ocean, sinking quickly to the bottom. He begins to struggle while trying to break free. He eventually does, and swims back to the surface. However, at this point, arms start emerging from the ocean's floor to drag him back down. He eventually breaks free, and is left alone on the beach.
