[Verse 1] Barrel price ticking up like a kettle left on boil, Tankers in the strait getting nervous 'bout the oil, Saudi energy sites took a hit somewhere in the dark, EnergyNow says the markets flinched, traders chasing the spark. Explosions echoed clean across the capital tonight, Conflict creeping closer, not some headline out of sight, Supply fears stacking up like dishes in a sink, Every barrel's got a story now, every gallon makes you think. [Chorus] Gulf News, pour it calm, pour it slow, October fifteenth, here's the thing you oughta know, Aramco shaking, prices climbing, tension in the frame, Same old desert, wearing a different flame. [Verse 2] Houthis out of Yemen say the next round's gonna hurt, Aramco's own headquarters left in rubble and dirt, Reuters got the sources, say the walls caved thin, Escalation threats are hanging loose beneath the skin. Containment was the wall that Saudi built for years, Middle East Eye calling it a structure drowned in fears, The strategy that boxed the war is leaking at the seam, Yemen's conflict crossed the border like a bad dream. [Chorus] Gulf News, pour it calm, pour it slow, October fifteenth, here's the thing you oughta know, Aramco shaking, prices climbing, tension in the frame, Same old desert, wearing a different flame. [Verse 3] Call them a proxy, a puppet pulled on Tehran's string, But the Conversation says they're rewriting everything, Not just a hand moved by somebody else's will, Houthis claim their own war, climbing their own hill. Meanwhile in Riyadh the young Crown Prince feels the squeeze, WSJ says Iran-backed hands keep turning up the keys, Toronto Star confirms it, officials on record too, The headquarters smoking tells you everything is true. [Verse 4] Diplomats are scrambling, phones lit up at the UN, Every analyst on cable got a theory again, Markets in Tokyo and London feeling the same chill, A barrel's just a number till it's somebody's bill. Refineries watching, shipping lanes on alert, Every nation calculating how much this could hurt, The desert's always burning somewhere underneath the news, Tonight it's just impossible for the world to lose the thread and lose. [Bridge] Here's your word tonight, tuck it in your sleeve: Conflagration — a fire too massive to believe, Not one spark, not one flame standing alone, A whole region catching, ember to bone, So when they say the tension's just a local little thing, Remember one struck match can turn into everything. [Chorus] Gulf News, pour it calm, pour it slow, October fifteenth, here's the thing you oughta know, Aramco shaking, prices climbing, tension in the frame, Same old desert, wearing a different flame. [Outro] That's the dial for the fifteenth, turning it down low, Oil, smoke, and a shifted status quo, Riyadh's quiet now, but the embers still remain, Tune back in tomorrow, see who's holding the flame.
