Mother! Of all creation Kali
Listen, and hear my call Maha Kali
We call , upon your mercy Kali
For the, great sins of all Maha Kali
I name, your secret words Kali
I intone, your name divine Maha Kali
You are, the deepest cavern Kali
From whence, the great light shines Maha Kali
You are, the forest carpet Kali
Dark yet, the source of life Maha Kali
You are, heaven's wrath Kali
With great torch, and sacred knife Maha Kali
You are, the depths of matter Kali
Home of, the spiritual fire Maha Kali
I am, encased in matter Kali
I pray, to travel higher Maha Kali
Save us, from the veiled snares Kali
Give us, the truth you know Maha Kali
Dance for us, with flute and drum Kali
Make the land throb, with your feet Maha Kali
Come down, o gentle mother Kali
That we, may be complete Maha Kali
Chase away, all fearful demons Kali
With your fierce, and wrathful forms Maha Kali
Give us love, and sweet protection Kali
Shelter us, within your storms Maha Kali
Raise your fists, and give us power Kali
Show your heart, that we may rise Maha Kali
Stand tall, upon a mountain Kali
Spread your banners, through the skies Maha Kali
We lay, our heads before you Kali
Prostrate, o terrible one Maha Kali
Shatter, destroy our bodies Kali
Bring us, o bring us home
Maha Kali
Mother Kali
Maha Kali
