"Durin's Bane, in Moria"
to the tune of "Gabriel's Message"

The Maia, Melkor's spawn, from the pit came,
His form as shadow black, his eyes as flame;
His whip of fire and sword of steel he carries,
The Balrog, Durin's Bane, in Moria!

A Mary-Sue the Fellowship did join,
And Frodo's spotlight swiftly did purloin;
Two agents killed her dead before she e'er did see
The Balrog, Durin's Bane, in Moria!

The agents on their mission scratched their heads,
"What can we do with Mary-Sue now that she's dead?"
"I know the thing for her," the senior agent crowed:
"The Balrog, Durin's Bane, in Moria!"

Now when the Mary-Sues in Arda be,
They're all assassinated by the PPC;
But where do all the sparkly, urple bodies go?
The Balrog, Durin's Bane, in Moria!

Not that I endorse feeding all Middle-earth Sues to the Balrog. It just worked for the song. ^_^; Speaking of which, I'm guessing most people aren't familiar with "Gabriel's Message"--it's not played on the radio or anything--so here are the original lyrics for comparison. I've heard it put to two different tunes, as performed by the Choir of Trinity Church and by Elisabeth Von Trapp (yes, those Von Trapps). The former is more hymn-like, the latter more upbeat and folky. I had the latter in mind for this. {= )
