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
Nonagon, nonagon
Nonagon infinity, yup!
Floating fire
Golden wire
Silver trails
Flashing spire
Guns are cracking
Bombs are smacking
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

that riff is legendary in lord of lightning
this song has some big dorohedoro energy.
RIP Ben Shelburne
get outta here eric
Joeys face at the end always makes me laugh
Everybody gangsta till Stu pulls out a flute
Lighting... Eyyyyup
SO FUCKING GOOD. inspired all my Stanford essays. Delta S > 0.
I want to be reincarnated as an Aussie.
The premier rock band of the twenty first century. Best harmonica based band of all time.
1:55 Ambrose just being a creepy rock-dweller
I like this band but I think they may be nerds
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
"Lord of Lightning Shifts his Gays"
60k views away from greatness
Rattlesnake but no word is repeated
this is fuckint lit im high asf fuck watch this bruh
I wish I could find a Hagstrom 12 string in the woods of Endor.
Try hard? Not hard enough? Chicago? Delon?
This is what happens when you give Australians music privileges
someone must make a animation out of this...
1:40 electricity is gay
Man these dudes are amazing
EEEEYYUUP
Reminds me of the band Peach and Suns of the Tundra (Changed their name later)
This should have moar views than snek. Awww flightless birb in 168 shop is very cute.
Dude how many times do I have to like this fucking video
4:59 eric stick flip
When you sync the video up with the vinyl 🔥
Ooh actually this video is a little faster than the record. Still works well enough.
This is insane....
I thought this was a parody, but then I realized everything else was the parody.
True Kings
Que doideira do caralho
You guys edited Ambrose on the keyboard
I love it so muchhhhh
well that was epic
Having tempo troubles with what if so I had to come back here
Took me way too long to realize you guys had two drummers how does one miss that
Tempo seems fine tbh
I think I'm having a seizure
Holy fuckin shit
The king gizzard and the lizard Wizard cinematic universe
this is shot like a black metal video except for the color
Where was this recoded
Nobody:
Stu Mackenzie: YEP
Beautiful, gripping, compelling! Brought me to my knees!
Legendary
Crazy shit this guys...awesome!
EPIC WINNER A CG
Also, imagine how fucking amazing it would be if Felix Colgrave partnered up with these guys to give their songs crazy visuals to match
I personally believe this is King Gizzard’s Magnum Opus.
One song to rule them all, one song to find them.
Take magnesium before watch!
oh my god ambrose looks like tommy wiseaou in this music video and now i can't unsee it
had a seizure but it was worth it
This sounds like the title to a D&D game
Where are red suits and helmets?
Actually amazing
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
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.
@Morrissey Gere I can't animate :p but that would be dope
Is this a reference to Lord of the rings
They’re talent exceeds proficiency foreal👀😍
I AM THE LORD OF LIGHTNING!
Do you want to know what's the issue with King Gizzard?
Everybody's talking about Greta Van Fleet
Great Song!
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.
No one is talking about lord of the rings here, Jesus Christ
Got tickets for the Greek theater show in LA, My son got me into this band. I'm fucking blown away.
I love how a comically bad music video slowly turns into a really good music video.... but it’s still hilarious the whole way through.

Dark Souls lore is more complicated then I remember.
What guitar is that 12 string he plays
Lngsht en el bajo y max chinasky en los sintetizadores
Plugging your guitar into the leafs.
i like that lil zoom on his ankle at 6:18
lord of lightning shifts his gays 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
So wait, I have a question. Is People-Vultures actually the Balrog? These are important issues.
Do not let anyone tell you that Rock n Roll is dead !!!
Looks like cavs forgot the sticks at home and they were like fuck it use branches
I’m having a Caesar right now. I love them with a big celery stalk!
Best Acid Rock band since Robin Trower. King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard fucking ROCK!
\m/ \m/
LORD GIZ
If you feel you might be susceptible to awesome, do not watch this video
I wonder if this counts as a lotr reference
all these stories behind the song's lyrics really happens in Australia
This whole album reminds me of Wizards.
The Ralph Bakshi movie, Wizards?
acid?
*.:))
121 people can't cast shadows on flowing lava
Holy fucking shit. This is MOTHERFUCKINGUNWATCABLE TERRIBLE! I love it.
Gandalf vs the Balrog?
With the lord of lightning song, am I the only one who pictures a giant naked blue titan with a big o'l erection ejaculating lightning over a city like a an awesome smutty Godzilla?
Drugs are awesome.
The moment that 12 string emerges over the mountain sends chills down my spine
