(ŠAlf Davies 2004)

If you dig down too deep, you don't know what you'll find
For Durin the Dwarves still weep, evil deeds of ancient times
They appeared in Middle Earth, a long, long time ago
Small in stature, big of heart, as Durin's folk were known
Deep in the Misty Mountains, their halls were grand and vast
For mithril were they seeking, for treasures that would last

Down, down, down into the ground
Down, down, down into the ground
Then they heard the awful sound
The Balrog, Balrog
The Balrog of Moria

If you delve down too deep, you don't know what you'll gain
A treasure you can keep, or you may loose Durin's Bane
With Elvish skills they blended, their mastery of the forge
Swords and armour rendered, the scourge of trolls and orcs
But finally their delving, unleashed an evil great
The Balrog of Thangorodrim, slew the King and sealed the gate

Down, down, down into the ground
Down, down, down into the ground
Then they heard the awful sound
The Balrog, Balrog
The Balrog of Moria

They delved down too deep, loosed a spirit old and fell
As you sow thus you reap, none would live to tell
