Treasure 5 to Treasure 4 - More Dr. Styx

Doctor Styx gets in a fix

Mere leagues above the planets fiery core
Stirred a legend; ere was thought to exist no more
Deeply entrenched in lava's lair
His minions toiled under furnaces glare

Eons passed and mountains wept
But still the prisoners the dungeons kept
Raking the coals and hammering with sledges
keep up the pace, dour denizen's of the trenches

Then a maelstrom swept the placid earth
waking Lucifer from forlorn scorched hearth
Rose the demon through miles of rock, as volcanic eruptions grew
He reached the surface, direly intent on what he'd do

Ignoring nearby cities crumbling and grim
The demon spotted Dr Styx, and lumbered ominously towards him
"Hey" bellowed the man of fire, "is keeping peace up here such a chore"?
My gang below cannot concentrate, due to the din of world-wide war.
