Waking up in a bad dream
You don’t know if it’s real or a sim
Where are you going
Do you even recall where you’ve been
Going round in a circle
You don’t know if you’re dead or alive
You’re stuck in this minefield
You know you could never survive
You’re just a hand on the clock
A cog in their machine
A pawn in the game
A pixel on the screen
A hand on the clock
Make every second count
A hand on the clock
And time is running out — time’s running out
You can’t trace him, you can’t chase him
A grey and nameless mass, no one stands out
You can’t match him, you can’t catch him
A shadow on the wall, a face in the crowd
You can’t track him or attack him
In here nobody stands out
You can’t hunt him, confront him
Just another face in the crowd
Waking up in the darkness
You discover it’s all in your mind
You’re locked in a cycle
You want out, but you can’t die
Getting lost in this new real
Going back to the past
They say you can’t change it
But you know there is always a chance
You’re just a hand on the clock
A cog in their machine
A pawn in the game
A pixel on the screen
A hand on the clock
Make every second count
A hand on the clock
And time is running out — time’s running out
You can’t match him, you can’t catch him
A shadow on the wall, a face in the crowd
You can’t track him or attack him
In here nobody stands out
You can’t hunt him, confront him
Just another face in the crowd
[Solo: Joost van den Broek]
You’re just a hand on the clock
A cog in their machine
A pawn in the game
A pixel on the screen
A hand on the clock
Make every second count
A hand on the clock
And time is running out — time’s running out
It’s completed, he’s defeated
A new time created for all
You saved them, you gave them
A new future to explore
