Lyrics for The Balrog

Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog, yep! You made the atom split It caused a massive rift And he came screaming through Here to bite the head from you Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog, yep, oh! Balrog fears not the Lightning Lord He's fixed on us, has him ignored Feel a tingle Rolling up your left arm when you Think of evil Lurking in the darkness where you Shine your eyesight Something tells you this is not right Take some advice Have you heard the murmurings of Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, yep, oh! You caused a massive rift You made the atom split And it came screaming through Here to bite the head off you Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog I build the bravery to sneak a glimpse at it's expression And beyond the flames I see him smirk at our present depression I fear that God's a chef and he's thrown us into a great pot He is here, fully formed, and glowing red and lapis hot Heated menace Comes to gouge the heart out from us Blazing zealot Preaching on the apocalypse I don't want to Submit to his awful torture Save me from him Have you heard the murmurings of Balrog, balrog Balrog, oh! Skin begins to burn There's nowhere we can turn There's no way we can win The devil puppets him His pyre muscles flex We are his next subjects His power has us floored Kneel before the overlord Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, yes, oh! For them, the future was as laid out as the burnt path he swathe And so the damned remaining lot knelt before the red Behemoth And as they prepared for afterlife there appeared the endemic monstrosity The Lighting Lord is back and charged the Balrog with animosity Furious he pummeled his breast, and a blaze alit the heavens The stage was set for war, and to the Balrog, the Lord's finger beckoned
