Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lord of Lightning shares his gaze
Points his strong finger our way
Electricity escapes
Leaves destruction in his wake
[Verse 2]
Lightning
Nonagon, nonagon, nonagon, infinity, yup
[Verse 3]
Floating fire
Golden wire
Silver trails
Flashing spire
Guns are cracking
Bombs are smacking
Cat o'tails
Whips her lashings
[Verse 4]
Lord of Lightning moves our way
Sends a crooked look at me
Electricity escapes
Lights the sky in citrine fleece
[Verse 5]
Lightning
Nonagon, nonagon, nonagon, infinity, yup
[Verse 6]
One more time, the volt lights up a carnival of paint
I endeavor to watch the panic
But I worry that I will faint
[Verse 7]
Floating fire
Golden wire
Silver trails
Flashing spire
Guns are cracking
Bombs are smacking
Cat o'tails
Whips her lashings
[Verse 8]
Lord of Lightning's closer now
Our world's only rain and cloud
I'm not sure we have the power
Need to smite this evil down
[Verse 9]
Lightning
Nonagon, nonagon, nonagon, infinity, yup
Nonagon, nonagon, oh
[Verse 10]
And from the Lord's electric snare
One goes in his electric chair
[Verse 11]
Lord of Lightning shifts his gaze
Points his strong finger our way
Electricity escapes
Leaves destruction in our wake
[Verse 12]
His electric trap has electric cyanide
The luckless hostage has been thoroughly fried
[Verse 13]
Lightning, yup
Nonagon, nonagon, nonagon, infinity, yes
[Verse 14]
And as the cadaver lay static with open, crusted eyes
The smoking corpse began to twitch
At my great surprise
Then the figure sprung up and at once it caught alight
And the creature known as Balrog was born that very night
