The Balrog - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

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, 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 behemathe

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
