Can the Narak Kong Shak prayer from the Narak Dongtruk ('Emptying the Lower Realms from their Very Depths') be said without lung?

This is a practice that you definitely need empowerment and transmission for.

May all gurus, Buddhas, and deities bless me to have this transmission.
May all beings be free from suffering and causes of suffering

"The Narak Dongtrul Tantra, or Narak Kong Shak, has special features. [First], it enables us to purify any kind of breakage, regardless of how much time has elapsed. [Second], all the different categories of breakages may be purified not only by the one who committed the action, but also by somebody practising on his or her behalf."

Maybe you can ask some people here to do it for you until you can receive the transmission.

Re: Lung Needed for Narak Kong Shak?
If I recall correctly a previous discussion it was said that you can do this practice even without the lung since it's a confessional one.
Although many individuals in this age appear to be merely indulging their worldly desires, one does not have the capacity to judge them, so it is best to train in pure vision.

Re: Lung Needed for Narak Kong Shak?
I am wondering if you can just do the main prayers calling the deities and confessing since there is no transformation. Would having Shitro transmission make a difference? Or would they not be effective without the full practice, entailing offerings?
