Distant pounding of a damaru
Merging softly to a storming rain
Lightning and thunder affiliate
As if stones were rumbling on barren ground
Riding the storm with screeching howls and wild flames
Three strokes of ashes followed by ten thousand names
Unchanging and formless rises the destroyer
A pillar of fire, twist the earth, wrathful avenger
Om Namah Shivaya
Listen to the gods
Om Namah Shivaya
For you they sing
Into darkness
Plunge them all - everything
The deadliest of creatures
Here as your servants
Om Namah Shivaya
A crown of skulls
Om Namah Shivaya
Encircled with serpents
Unchanging and formless rises the destroyer
Twist the earth, wrathful avenger
Transmigration from one life to another
Transforming affliction to rediscover
Absorbing the powers of aggressor
First a lover, now murderer forever
Om Namah Shivaya
Listen to the dead
For they never grow silent
Om Namah Shivaya
Even in the heart of twilight
Bright are their dreams
Om Namah Shivaya
Uncover the violent face
And lower your trident
We will stand and rejoice
In all three realms
Om Namah Shivaya
