In Middle-earth a minstrel sings
Of heroes, monsters, and of kings.
But every song a question brings.
Do Balrogs really have wings?
I've looked at Balrogs from both sides now.
From winged or not and still somehow
When Balrogs' illusions I recall
I really don't know Balrogs at all.
On mighty wings they proudly fly
Like flaming spears across the sky.
Or does my imagination lie?
Do Balrogs really have wing?
I've looked at Balrogs from both sides now,
From winged or not and still somehow
When Balrogs' illusions I recall
I really don't know Balrogs at all.
In Khazad-dum a Balrog fell.
His wings, they didn't serve him well.
Gandalf knew but didn't tell.
Do Balrogs really have wings?
I've looked at Balrogs from both sides now,
From winged or not and still somehow
When Balrogs' illusions I recall
I really don't know Balrogs at all.
