Fool s Gold

[Verse 1 – Male Vocal (Gritty, Reflective)]
[Light Rock groove, muted guitars, bass syncopation]
Life won’t teach me—I’m the fool,
Still a child in this twisted game.
One step from love to a heart turned cruel,
But I’m frozen here, whispering your name.
[Knocking down the drums]
The past sits heavy, a ghost in my throat,
I miss the souls that time erased.
If I were a ship, I’d sink and float,
Anchored by the weight of my mistakes.

[Interlude]
[Drums escalate, distorted power chords enter, Afrobeat polyrhythms clash with metal chugs]
[Knocking down the drums]
[Verse 2 – Male Vocal (Raw, Urgent)]
But a heart this wide can move the earth,
Even fools can love beyond the pain.
I’m a jester cursed with infinite worth,
For every soul that burned my name.

[Pre-Chorus Build]
[Female/Male vocal]
[Harmonized guitars in fifths, tempo pushes]
I’m shackled to these endless skies,
Love and hate dance side by side.
One step to cross that jagged line—
But my feet won’t leave this fire behind!
[Knocking down the drums]
[Female/Male vocal]
[Chorus – Duet (Male + Female Powerhouse)]
(Metal explosion, drop-tuned riff, female vocals soar above)
They run, they fall, they rise again,
Collecting scars like diamonds in the rain.
I’m a fool, but I’m king of the damned—
A universe of feeling in these empty hands!
[Knocking down the drums]
[Guitar Solo]
[Dueling guitars: Pentatonic shred + Afrobeat-infused tapping, Circle of Fifths modulation]
[Knocking down the drums]
[Bridge – Call & Response]
[Afrobeat breakdown, male vocal growls vs. female operatic belts]
[Male vocal]
(“I’m the storm, I’m the flood!”)
[Female vocal]
(“You’re the light in the mud!”)
[Both Duet Male/Female]
( “We’re the chaos, we’re the spark—
Fools who split the dark!”)
[Knocking down the drums]
[Final Chorus – Key Shift B Minor]
[Female/Male vocal]
[Repeat chorus with layered screams/harmonies]
[Full orchestration: Brass stabs (Afrobeat), blast beats (Metal), gospel choir pads]
[Drums Knocking down the reels]
[Outro]
[Drums fade, unresolved guitar chord, synth echoes into silence]

[Catchy Rock Guitar Solo interlude Echo]

[Drums Knocking down the reels]
[A guitar chord on the strings]
[Unraveling a guitar chord on the strings]
[End]
