Kali, The Wild Dark Goddess
Kali, the wild dark Goddess
Surging forth from the darkness
You are that radiant blackness
Exploding into form
Kali, the wild dark Goddess
The Primordial Shakti
The grace of Your destruction
The shadow of Your creativity
Kali, the wild dark Goddess
Dancing on Shiva's body
You are the violence of the Big Bang
Vibrating across time and space
O Kali Ma
Your mouth wide open
A black hole
Swallowing us all alive
Your slightest whisper
Sends cyclones screaming
And tsunamis raging
In mesmerizing horror
Kali, the wild dark Goddess
The tragedy of death
The ferocity of birth
The light and shadow of your play
Kali, the wild dark Goddess
A crack of thunder
A flash of lighting
Stuns the mind
With your mischievous smile
Lift this veil
Look into my eyes
Clouds part across the night sky
Kali, the wild dark Goddess
Your ecstatic dance
Outrageous and sublime
My knees tremble in terror
Kali, Kali, Kali
Your divine play
Electrifying, terrifying
Brings tears to my eyes
Kali, the wild dark Goddess
I have been searching for you everywhere
But finally you showed me
We have never been apart
Kali, Kali, Kali
One morning I awoke
To the rapture of your presence
To the ecstasy of our embrace
O Kali Ma
Your bittersweet bargain
Of birth and death
Of love and grief
Churn up all of my fears
Unmask my deepest desires
I offer everything back
Into your raging fire
These flickering flames
Reflecting like images in a mirror
Illuminating your dark eyes
Penetrating me deep inside
Kali, the wild dark Goddess
When at last I meet your gaze
At the gates of death
May the ferocity of your love
Devour me.
