[Intro – 2 bars, ticking layered over immediate beat] Tick, tick, tick— The fire's already lit! [Verse 1 – fast rhythmic vocals] Every hand on the clock bends when I arrive Take another breath while you're still alive I don't chase tomorrow, I decide when it comes One look, one step— Nowhere left to run You think you've got the moment You think you've got control But something keeps on burning Even when the world goes cold [Pre-Chorus] You can lock the second You can hold the line But you can't kill a fire THAT REFUSES TO DIE! [Chorus] BURN THE CLOCK! SET THE FROZEN SECOND ON FIRE! BREAK THE LOCK! LET THE FLAMES KEEP CLIMBING HIGHER! STOP THE WORLD! I'LL STILL BE STANDING IN THE LIGHT! YOU OWN THE SECOND— BUT YOU DON'T OWN MY LIFE! BURN THE CLOCK! [Verse 2 – rap-rock, driving beat] Freeze the sky Freeze the ground Try to shut the whole world down Every second that you steal Only makes the flame burn louder now No throne above me No fear inside No hand of fate decides my life Push me back I'll cross the line You control the clock— BUT THE FIRE IS MINE! [Pre-Chorus] Turn the hands backward Black out the sky You can stop the whole world— BUT YOU CAN'T STOP MY DRIVE! [Chorus] BURN THE CLOCK! SET THE FROZEN SECOND ON FIRE! BREAK THE LOCK! LET THE FLAMES KEEP CLIMBING HIGHER! STOP THE WORLD! I'LL STILL BE STANDING IN THE LIGHT! YOU OWN THE SECOND— BUT YOU DON'T OWN MY LIFE! BURN THE CLOCK! [Breakdown – music stays heavy, no silence] You really think you can overcome me? MUDA! Push harder! MUDA! MUDA! BURN BRIGHTER! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! [Heavy instrumental continues] ONE HEART! ONE FLAME! ONE SECOND IS ALL THAT I NEED! FREEZE THE WORLD! BREAK THE CLOCK! YOU CAN'T FREEZE WHAT'S BURNING IN ME! [Final Chorus] BURN THE CLOCK! SET THE FROZEN SECOND ON FIRE! BREAK THE LOCK! LET THE FLAMES KEEP CLIMBING HIGHER! STOP THE WORLD! I'LL STILL COME CRASHING THROUGH THE NIGHT! YOU OWN THE SECOND— BUT YOU DON'T OWN THE FIGHT! BURN THE CLOCK! BURN THE CLOCK! IF THIS IS YOUR ETERNITY— I'LL SET ETERNITY ON FIRE! [Outro – heavy instrumental, ticking underneath] BURN THE CLOCK!
