[Pt. 1-5]
Remember in the First Age
We cowed at your rage.
Flame on, you evil Balrog!
Now you’re extinguished in snow,
Not hiding below.
Flame on, you evil Balrog!
You were caught in the crossfire
Of Gandalf and Sauron,
Fell from the stone bridge.
Come on you creature
Of darkness and fire;
Come on you legend of terror inspired
And flame!
You reached for the wizard too soon,
O curse of Udun.
Flame on you evil Balrog!
Threatening with your sword and whip;
How sad that you slipped.
Flame on you evil Balrog!
Well you wore out the patience
Of Anor’s gray servant;
Thrown from the stone bridge.
Come on you relic,
You elf-bane of Morgoth;
Come you demon, you shadow behemoth
And flame!
[Pt. 6-9]
Nobody knows where you’ve gone,
Thangorodim’s spawn.
Flame on you evil Balrog!
But if the dark wins the fight,
You might reignite.
Flame on you evil Balrog!
And we’ll bask in the memory
Of cave-trolls and dragons;
Walk ‘cross the stone bridge.
Come on you ancient,
Who kneeled at the black throne;
Come on you miner of orc-heads and dwarf-bones
And flame!
