In April 1815, Mount Tambora in Indonesia erupted and the global temperature decreased 0.4–0.7 °C in its wake. Mary Shelley (then Mary Godwin), in the face of the dismal weather whilst away at Lake Geneva, was inspired to compose her revolutionary genre-defining novel 'Frankenstein (The Modern Prometheus)' after a night of telling scary stories. Mary Shelley also composed the novel, 'The Last Man' in 1826, one of the first dystopian texts and set in the 21st Century, following a plague that threatens the survival of humanity.
lyrics
Life nought but inescapable anguish
The sun gone but still remains, she who traced epitaph
Hold fast to a heart that refused to burn
The last man of rage-fueled Promethean earth
Red snow, the blood of those reclaimed
By an earth we mourn in timeless pain
Tambora erupts to condemn
Apocalyptic colonialism
Stratosphere consumed by volcanic ash
Hold fast to a heart that refused to burn
The last man of rage-fueled Promethean earth
Red snow, the blood of those reclaimed
By an earth we mourn in timeless pain
Hold fast to a heart that refused to burn
The last man of rage-fueled Promethean earth
Red snow, the blood of those reclaimed
By an earth she mourned in timeless pain
From hostile clay, we embrace her dream
Reanimate an exiled beast
Banksia needs fire to break the seed
The monster crawling from the darkness is my grief
For a future stolen by the plague of greed
The monster crawling from the darkness, preemptive grief
There is fire now to break the seed
