Cosmic Clock Nightmare

[spoken intro // female voice] [voice style: whispered] "I hear the ticking of the clock..." [Verse 01] [Male Voice] Tick by tick, the stars unwind, Clocks of chaos in my mind, Cogs of fate in motion bleed, Grinding souls with endless speed. The spiral hums, dimensions cry, Sands of reason trickle dry, Each grain a world the gears destroyed — I dream within the time’s cold void. [Pre-Chorus] [Female Voice] Hands align, eclipse divine, Devour the hours, distort the line. [Chorus] [Male Voice] I’m trapped in a cage that's not really there (The Cosmic Clock Nightmare) Where seconds scream and shadows stare, (The Cosmic Clock Nightmare) The universe rewinds, I’m torn, aware — (The Cosmic Clock Nightmare) The cosmic clock nightmare. [Verse 02] [Male Voice] Eternal gears that twist the sun, Count the deaths of everyone, Pendulum swings through voided years, A symphony of broken spheres. The ticking grows, my pulse enslaved, By time’s machine that none have braved, Infinity laughs, the stars conspire, The clockwork burns in slow desire. [Pre-Chorus] [Female Voice] Hands align, eclipse divine, Devour the hours, distort the line. [Chorus] [Male Voice] I’m trapped in a cage that's not really there (The Cosmic Clock Nightmare) Where seconds scream and shadows stare, (The Cosmic Clock Nightmare) The universe rewinds, I’m torn, aware — (The Cosmic Clock Nightmare) The cosmic clock nightmare. [Rap Section] [Male Voice] Can you hear the ticking? It’s getting closer, no time for thinking. The shadow laughs as the hours unlock, Haunted by the hands of the clock. I am the void where your sanity gleams, Lost in the gears of eternity, where silence screams. The cosmos turns, indifferent and divine — Your soul dissolves where no stars align. Kneel before the void, your soul to shatter, But in the end, it doesn’t even matter. [Symphonic/industrial solo] [Pre-Chorus] [Female Voice] Hands align, eclipse divine, Devour the hours, distort the line. [Chorus] [Male Voice] I’m trapped in a cage that's not really there (The Cosmic Clock Nightmare) Where seconds scream and shadows stare, (The Cosmic Clock Nightmare) The universe rewinds, I’m torn, aware — (The Cosmic Clock Nightmare) I’m trapped in a cage that's not really there (The Cosmic Clock Nightmare) Where seconds scream and shadows stare, (The Cosmic Clock Nightmare) The universe rewinds, I’m torn, aware — (The Cosmic Clock Nightmare) The cosmic clock nightmare. [Outro // female voice] [Spoken voice] "I hear the ticking of the clock..."
