King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - The Lord Of Lightning Lyrics






Lord of Lightning shifts his gaze
Points his strong finger our way
Electricity escapes
Leaves destruction in his wake

Lightning, oh!

Nonagon, nonagon
Nonagon infinity, yup!

Floating fire
Golden wire
Silver trails
Flashing spire
Guns are cracking
Bombs are smacking
Cat o' tails
Whips her lashings

Lord of Lightning moves our way
Sends a crooked look at me
Electricity escapes
Lights the sky in citrine fleece

Lightning, oh!

Nonagon, nonagon
Nonagon infinity, yup!

[Narrator:]
One more time the vault lights up with carnival of paint
I endeavor to watch the panic, but I worry that I will faint

Floating fire
Golden wire
Silver trails
Flashing spire
Guns are cracking
Bombs are smacking
Cat o' tails
Whips her lashings

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

Lightning, oh!

Nonagon, nonagon
Nonagon infinity, yup!
Nonagon, nonagon, oh!

[Narrator:]
And from the Lords electric snare
One goes in his electric chair

Lord of Lightning shifts his gaze
Points his strong finger our way
Electricity escapes
Leaves destruction in our wake

[Narrator:]
His electric trap has electric cyanide
The luckless hostage has been thoroughly fried

Lightning, oh!

Nonagon, nonagon
Nonagon infinity, yup!

[Narrator:]
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 a light
And the creature known as Balrog was born that very night

    The premier rock band of the twenty first century. Best harmonica based band of all time.

  11. E.... M....

    1:55 Ambrose just being a creepy rock-dweller

  12. j.... f....

    I like this band but I think they may be nerds

  13. s.... ....

    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

  59. B.... ....

    Kinda wish this song had a separate very high budget music video that better describe the events of the song, just imagine how epic it could be

    B.... ....

    Dude I keep thinking of like an animated video of balrog and the lord of lighting fighting with guitars and drums and shit. If you're reading this and you can animate please use your skills and do this, it needs to be done.

    B.... ....

    @Morrissey Gere I can't animate :p but that would be dope

  60. T.... m....

    Is this a reference to Lord of the rings

  61. T.... C....

    They’re talent exceeds proficiency foreal👀😍

  62. K.... ....

    I AM THE LORD OF LIGHTNING!

  63. M.... P....

    Do you want to know what's the issue with King Gizzard?





    Everybody's talking about Greta Van Fleet

  64. P.... V....

    Great Song!

  65. T.... T....

    The Balrog hatched from that egg after those travelers awakened it. Altered Beast is the Balrog as is the people vulture as altered beast is a human creature hybrid. Some context is played using the intro to people vultures because it's giving some context to nonagon infinity which is the album that is on. The context is that the fight between the Lord of Lightning and the Balrog caused nonagon infinity. Han Tyumi altered the infinite loop of the apocalypse.

  66. F.... L....

    No one is talking about lord of the rings here, Jesus Christ

  67. h.... ....

    Got tickets for the Greek theater show in LA, My son got me into this band. I'm fucking blown away.

  68. B.... J....
