[Verse 1] Explosions in the capital, the ground starts to shake, Middle East tension running hotter than the desert's heat can take, Coalition confirms a projectile fell near, An airport in the east, Saudi officials standing clear, Checking every angle, counting every scar, This ain't a rumor whispered low, this is a wire-report star. [Chorus] Gulf News, tenth month, eleventh light, Riyadh airport struck in the dead of night, Twelve are gone, three hundred wounded wide, Houthi strikes keep rising on the eastern tide, Pipeline still pumping, numbers don't lie, Five point eight million barrels passing by. [Verse 2] Reuters counts it plain, twelve dead, the number's grim, Three hundred injured bodies, hospitals full to the brim, France 24 says two at least, the toll still climbing slow, Washington Post calls it the deadliest Houthi blow, Eleven years since Saudi soil felt a hit this hard, Every network scrambling, every desk on guard. [Verse 3] Meanwhile the East-West pipeline keeps its steady beat, Saudi Arabia says output won't retreat, Five point eight million barrels moving through the sand, Energy flows on even when the skies are banned, Al Jazeera tracks the barrels, calm against the blast, Economy and warfare running side by side, unmatched. [Verse 4] Diplomats are dialing, the hotlines running hot, Analysts dissecting every angle, every shot, Satellite images circling on every feed, Markets watching oil prices, planting seeds of greed, Riyadh's hospitals working through the smoke and dust, While coalition spokesmen say their numbers, say we trust, The region holds its breath between the fear and the routine, Another headline rising on the nightly screen. [Bridge] Trump weighs the strikes, Iran International's lens, Washington watching closely how this chapter ends, Houthi missiles rising, Riyadh counts the cost, Twelve lives are never numbers, they're the names we've lost. [Chorus] Gulf News, tenth month, eleventh light, Riyadh airport struck in the dead of night, Twelve are gone, three hundred wounded wide, Houthi strikes keep rising on the eastern tide, Pipeline still pumping, numbers don't lie, Five point eight million barrels passing by. [Outro] That's the Gulf tonight, laid out plain and clear, Conflict and crude oil sharing one frontier, October eleventh, the story's still in motion, Keep your ear to the ground, keep tracking the commotion. [Chorus] Gulf News, tenth month, eleventh light, Riyadh airport struck in the dead of night, Twelve are gone, three hundred wounded wide, Houthi strikes keep rising on the eastern tide, Pipeline still pumping, numbers don't lie, Five point eight million barrels passing by.
