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

Maha Kali, come to me!

Smashana Kali, I burn myself for thee

I cut my own throat in obscene ecstasy

I make love to abominations, embrace pain and misery

Until my heart becomes the burning ground and Kali comes to me

Oh, 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

Maha Kali, come to me!

Oh, Kali, thou art fond of cremation grounds

So I have turned my heart into one, that thou

May dance there unceasingly

Oh, mother, I have no other fond desire in my heart

Fire of a funeral pyre is burning there

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

Maha Kali, come to me!

Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!

Mahapralaya will set our spirits free

Maha Kali, come to me!
