Maha Kali

Maha Kali

Maha Kali, dark mother dance for me

Let the purity of your nakedness awaken me

Yours are the fires of deliverance which shall bring me bliss

Yours is the cruel sword which shall set my spirit free



Devourer of life and death who rule beyond time

In thy name I shall fullfil my destiny divine

Maha Kali, formless one, destroyer of illusion

Your songs forever sung, the tunes of dissolution



Kalika, black tongue of fire, embrace me

Make me one with your power for all eternity

Awaken within me the reflection of your flame

Kiss me with your bloody lips and drive me insane



Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!

Make me one with your power for all eternity



Smashana Kali, I burn myself for thee

I cut my own throat in obscene ecstasy

I make love to abominations, embrace pain and misery



O dark mother, hear me calling thee

Mahapralaya, bring to me

Through all illusions I shall see

I shall cremate this world and set my essence free



Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!

Without fear I will dance with death and misery



�O Kali, thou art fond of cremation grounds

So I have turned my heart into one, that thou

may dance there unceasingly.

O mother, I have no other fond desire in my

heart. Fire of a funeral pyre is burning there.�



Female voice:

Jai Maha Kali, Jai Ma Kalika

Jai Maha Kali, Jai Ma Kalika

Kali Mata, namo nama

Kali Mata, namo nama



Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!

At your left hand for endless victory



Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!

Mahapralaya will set our spirits free

Maha Kali, dark mother dance for me

Let the purity of your nakedness awaken me

Yours are the fires of deliverance which shall bring me bliss

Yours is the cruel sword which shall set my spirit free



Devourer of life and death who rule beyond time

In thy name I shall fullfil my destiny divine

Maha Kali, formless one, destroyer of illusion

Your songs forever sung, the tunes of dissolution
