----------------

You have been cursed and only have 7 seconds left to live, but maybe you can still survive if you are determined.

Fight the Evil Time Demon to steal seconds of your precious life back.

----------------

A demon raised me high and he started up this clock,

And he set me up to fall as the seconds tick and tock.

He promised me that time would tell, that I’d hear that bell toll,

That seven would be waiting, that they’d stop me on this roll.

But seven seconds, seven lives, a fight I know I’ll win;

The demon never guessed when he counted all my sins,

That time is on my side today, and I will not give in.
