Arch Enemy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dinosaur, now awake
Sphinx of grease, faceless bloat
Sacrifice in your name
Blubber mount, sewage moon
Jets like wire cut your body
They slice your teats
Calcified and stately cheeks
I wonder how you come into my dreams at night
Bow before you, I am your knife
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ha, ha) Fatberg, you smile
With your grave wax eyes
(Ha, ha) Will you consume me?
[Chorus]
Rise as my arch enemy, enemy
I was lonely, lonely
My enemy, you put the poison into me
I was lonely without you
[Verse 2]
You are the king of oil, now congeal
Through these parks over dogs
Grey cholesterol, down you go
Flushed and clean, as fresh as my bouncing bones
But you grew, you filled the cavern
You bided time, and from my mind, you bled away
But I hear you calling and you come into my dreams at night
And sunk in your head is a bicycle crown
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ha, ha) Fatberg, your eyes
[Chorus]
I need my arch enemy, enemy
I was lonely, lonely
My enemy, you put the poison into me
I was lonely without you
Arch enemy, my enemy
I was lonely, lonely
My enemy, you put the poison into me
Now I'm lonely without you
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
It's time to show your face!

What does the fatberg represent in the song as a whole?
In an interview with Apple Music, lead songwriter and singer Jonathan Higgs explained:
“I was reading about fatbergs, and something about them struck me as incredibly potent as a metaphor for greed and waste. We’ve thrown away so much fat that it’s blocked up the sewerage [system]. And this idea ar...
