[Intro]<\/p>\n
[industrial ambience, crackling fire, metallic hammer strikes, slow distorted synth pulse]
\nFrom satellites\u2026
\n(To the darkest nights)
\nJust sparks in the dark\u2026
\n(… stark…)
\nFrom electric towers\u2026
\n(To loss of powers)
\nBack to primitive survival\u2026
\n(… for all)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\n[mechanical groove, gritty bassline, muted guitar riffs, tribal percussion]
\nCities glowing through the haze,
\nBuilt on oil-burning days,
\nEngines roaring without end,
\nNever thought the system\u2019d bend.<\/p>\n
Plastic rivers, smoke-filled skies,
\nProgress sold through polished lies,
\nNow the power grids collapse,
\nAnd survival maps the traps.<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\n[rising synth tension, echoing toms, layered whispered vocals]
\nWhat once looked permanent and strong,
\nCouldn\u2019t outrun what went wrong,
\nThe heat arrived, the coastlines changed,
\nAnd all the rules rearranged.<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\n[heavy drop, distorted bass, pounding drums, gang vocals]
\nThe fossil fuel fool
\n(Forced back to fire and tool)
\nBurned his dream in steam
\n(Obscene scene…)
\n… know what I mean<\/p>\n
The fossil fuel fool
\n(Back to survival school)
\nAshes in the sky
\n(Watching systems die)
\n… know what I mean<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\n[groove intensifies, industrial percussion layers, pulsing synth bass]
\nGenerators running dry,
\nSupply chains fade under a burning sky,
\nAir too thick and rivers warm,
\nHuman systems overthrown.
\n(… and overblown)<\/p>\n
So we sharpen ancient ways,
\nFirelight replacing blaze,
\nTools rebuilt with hand and stone,
\nLearning how to live alone.<\/p>\n
Boiling water, sealing wounds,
\nHiding underneath the dunes,
\nCooking food to stay alive,
\nTrying in vain to survive.<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus 2]
\n[synth swell, tribal drum buildup, distant choir textures]
\nTechnology once ruled the Earth,
\nThen consumed its future worth,
\nAnd now the species bends once more,
\nToward what fire was invented for.<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\n[expanded orchestration, heavier drums, layered chant vocals]
\nThe fossil fuel fool
\n(Forced back to fire and tool)
\nBurned his dream in steam
\n(Obscene scene…)
\n… know what I mean<\/p>\n
The fossil fuel fool
\n(Back to survival school)
\nAshes in the sky
\n(Watching systems die)
\n… know what I mean<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\n[half-time breakdown, eerie piano notes, crackling fire ambience]
\nCivilization climbed so high\u2026
\n(The consequence — to fry)
\nIt forgot the ground beneath\u2026
\n(While campfires returned underneath\u2026)<\/p>\n
The old knowledge wakes again\u2026
\nShelter\u2026 flame\u2026 back to “begin”\u2026
\nNot conquest now\u2026
\nJust endurance somehow\u2026<\/p>\n
[Instrumental Break]<\/p>\n
[tribal drum solo, distorted guitar lead, metallic percussion impacts, rising synth chaos]<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\n[maximal intensity, full industrial rhythm section, layered choir, roaring bass]
\nThe fossil fuel fool
\n(Forced back to fire and tool)
\nBurned his dream in steam
\n(Obscene scene…)
\n… know what I mean<\/p>\n
The fossil fuel fool
\n(Rewriting every rule)
\nSmoke becomes the sky
\n(As the old world dies)
\n… know what I mean<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[slow fade into crackling fire, distant thunder, low drone ambience]
\nOne spark remains\u2026
\n(Under the strains)
\nIn the ruins of the machine\u2026
\n(Know what I mean?)<\/p>\n
[Whispered Vocal]
\n(“fire and tool\u2026 fire and tool\u2026”)
\n… don’t be a fool..<\/p>\n
