"You cannot pass. I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass.
The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn.
Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass."
Gandalf

On the other hand perhaps it always was Moria but with a less dire spin, would something like 'dark caverns' be appropriate?
Gimli describes Khazad-dum to be far from dark. He gets mad at Sam for doubting that.
