Premium Member Fire Flare and Charcoal Glow

double trouble on the boil    
earth bowels ooze devils oil
   
ancient rock and occult blood
darkest liquor thick as mud
cauldron charged to overflow
fire flare and charcoal glow
spirits rising from turmoil
circulate alembic coil
thus set free an evil spell
toxic breath creating hell

double trouble on the boil     
earth bowels ooze devils oil

fuming venom distillate
burn in air and dissipate
poison potions pour and spill
flora fauna for the kill
this alchemy reaching high
venting evil to the sky
ancient carbon haunting air
greenhouse gases everywhere

double trouble on the boil
earth bowels ooze devils oil

global warming melting ice
species rendered sacrifice
many mammals facing hell
from this reckless evil spell
without caution carbon spent
now new magic man invent
bury deep then sin be gone
down in devils dark dungeon

tenfold trouble on the boil
evil born of fossil oil
