The Watchmaker's Curse

[Verse]
He found it buried deep in the dirt one day
A golden watch ticking in a strange
Eerie way
The hands spun backwards but time stood still
He felt the power and bent it to his will
[Verse 2]
With a flick of his wrist the world froze in place
He rewrote the skies and erased every trace
Of the life that had wronged him
The ones who betrayed
But with each passing second
His sanity frayed
[Chorus]
Time is a river but now it’s a cage
The watch in his hand fuels his boundless rage
The hours are weapons the minutes all scream
But power's a nightmare disguised as a dream
[Verse 3]
He shattered the seasons
Unraveled the years
Turned joy into ashes and laughter to tears
The cities fell silent
The oceans ran dry
He killed every moment
He silenced the sky
[Bridge]
But alone in the void with no one to blame
The echoes of guilt whispered his name
He tried to rewind but the watch wouldn't yield
The scars of his madness would never be healed
[Chorus]
Time is a river but now it’s a cage
The watch in his hand fuels his boundless rage
The hours are weapons the minutes all scream
But power's a nightmare disguised as a dream
