Shiva's Tandava

"Kailaasarana Shiva Chandramouli
Phaneendra Maathaa Mukutee Zalaalee
Kaarunya Sindhu Bhava Dukha Haaree
Thujaveena Shambho Maja Kona Taaree"
When evil beings descend from the mountains
An Inferno of death jewels the ground
The raging storm should have subdued the pleas
But all he could hear were blood ridden howls
"Prachand netra dhari, Shiva Shiva
Atyant balshaali, Shiva Shiva
Prachand netra dhari, Shiva Shiva
Atyant balshaali, Shiva Shiva"
The sweet serum of red becomes the shroud
To the countless corpses lying all around
The evil and the innocent fall to their knees
As Shiva the destroyer kills them spell-bound
"Prachand netra dhari, Shiva Shiva
Atyant balshaali, Shiva Shiva
Prachand netra dhari, Shiva Shiva
Atyant balshaali, Shiva Shiva"
Shiva
Shiva
The one with the trident and the third eye awake
The one who would leave only death and fear in his wake
Shiva
Shiva
The one with the trident and the third eye awake
The one who danced on the bed of corpses that he cremated
Tandava...
Shiva...
Tandava...
Shiva...
Tandava...

Parvati's Despair
06:34
|
|

Parvati, the mother of all
Parvati, the one that falls
At the sight that she beholds
As her love devours it all
Parvati
Watches it all burn
Helpless...
As Shiva kills them all
Fearless...
Torment and agony
In her breath, in her chest
She burns with rage
She burns with rage
With wrathful feminine fire
She looks at him standing on the pyres
Of a thousand burning men
Shiva's the one to blame
Of all the deaths and all the cries
All the innocence that wrongly dies
He's the one who bears the name
"The destroyer", such a shame!
Bitter tears of rage flow down her face
This savage of a man she can't embrace
The one who lusts to destroy
Towards her love it's such a disgrace
Parvati, the mother of all
Parvati, the one that falls
At the sight that she beholds
As her love devours it all
Parvati
Who'll be the one to make him realize
That all this wrath won't be suffice?
His trident could drip with blood
But his lust would only rise
Torment and agony
Is all that he would find
With distressed feminine fire
She walks to him and shares her desire
Of a tranquil and raging man
Will Shiva understand?
Or would she have to take her life
And merge with his to end the strife
Of all that he can't see
What a waste it would be
Bitter tears of despair flow down her face
This savage of a man she's going to embrace
The one who danced on whom he killed
She stands with him on corpses ablaze

Ardhanarishvara, Pt. 1
06:25

They embrace atop corpses wearing fire
Against his will, against her desire
The skies turn black and their bodies merge
From Shiva and Parvati
Only one could emerge
Ardhnarishvara
Ardhnarishvara
Benevolent and fierce
With its trident and its eyes it could pierce
Within whom two flames burn
But outside a single light appears
"Champeya gourardha sareerakayai
Karpoora gourardha sareerakaya
Dhamillakayai cha jatadaraya
Nama Shivayai cha namaha Shivaya"
Ardhnarishvara
"Champeya gourardha sareerakayai
Karpoora gourardha sareerakaya"
Ardhnarishvara
"Dhamillakayai cha jatadaraya
Nama Shivayai cha namaha Shivaya"
And before it could even breathe life
Shiva, the destroyer, tears off his wife
A trident that is red, and his prey's heart
The only merger that could ever suffice
And before it could open its eyes
Parvati, the pure, disgusted by the vile
Grips his head and rips him apart
For such vigor she could only despise
Benevolent and fierce
With its trident and its eyes it could pierce
Within whom two flames burn
But outside a single light appears
Ardhnarishvara
Ardhnarishvara
"Champeya gourardha sareerakayai
Karpoora gourardha sareerakaya
Dhamillakayai cha jatadaraya
Nama Shivayai cha namaha Shivaya"
Ardhnarishvara
"Champeya gourardha sareerakayai
Karpoora gourardha sareerakaya"
Ardhnarishvara
"Dhamillakayai cha jatadaraya
Nama Shivayai cha namaha Shivaya"
And before it could even breathe life
Shiva, the destroyer, tears off his wife
A trident that is red, and his prey's heart
The only merger that could ever suffice
And before it could open its eyes
Parvati, the pure, disgusted by the vile
Grips his head and rips him apart
For such vigor she could only despise
Ardhnarishvara
Ardhnarishvara
"Champeya gourardha sareerakayai

As Parvati Laments
06:28
|
|
||
|
On the path that she ordained
Would she find peace, or would she find pain?
She seeks solace within herself
But not the vigor that she had gained
For what she's lost, she can never find
The savage of a man she couldn't imbibe
On the path that she ordained
Would she find peace, or would she find pain?
She seeks solace within herself
But not the vigor that she had gained
For what she's lost, she can never find
The savage of a man she couldn't imbibe
For what she's lost
She can never find
The savage of a man
She must imbibe
As Parvati laments
The veil of ignorance
Lifts off her face
As Parvati laments
Pyres and fire
Is not what he desires
Torment and agony
Is the breath that he heaves
The veil of ignorance
Lifts off her face
Ferocious and fearless, Shiva's fire is ruthless
To her what is vicious, to him that is grace
As she laments she knows
Shiva and Parvati will always be juxtaposed
For neither he nor she alone can suffice
It must be the combined light of both

The Destroyer Falters

On the path that he ordained
There's fire vicious, and blood stains
He finds vigour within himself
But not the benevolence that he had gained
For what he's lost he can never find
Only if he could merge himself with his wife
For what he's lost he can never find
Only if he could merge himself with his wife
Never...
No...
Never...
No...
But he must see
What it could be
His trident could drip with blood
But his lust would only rise
Torment and agony
Is all that he would find
Either through his death
Or through his life
Must he now be
One with his wife
Never...
No...
Never...
No...
But he must see
What it could be
Never...
No...
Never...
No...
But he must see
What it could be
When Parvati comes to him
And shares her desire
Of a tranquil man
Whose heart is made of fire
When Parvati comes to him
And shares her desire
Would he understand,
Or would he blaze another pyre?
They embrace atop corpses wearing fire
With his will, With her desire
The skies turn black and their bodies merge
From Shiva and Parvati, only one emerged

Ardhanarishvara, Pt. 2
06:58

|

Our energies are all the same
There's the female and there's the male
You will never live a complete life
If all you have done is live on one side
They merge again once they learn the lesson
They've been subject to their half of suppression
Neither the man nor the woman inside
Will complete them till the day they die
"Champeya gourardha sareerakayai
Karpoora gourardha sareerakaya
Dhamillakayai cha jatadaraya
Nama Shivayai cha namaha Shivaya"
Within us all two flames burn
One that is tender and one that is stern
If the shadows cast by one get too strong
The other can't illuminate it any more
And then it could breathe in life
Shiva, the destroyer, unites with his wife
With utmost joy of becoming complete
Shiva, the pure, lets out enchanted cries
And then it could open its eyes
Parvati, the pure, lured by the vile
With utmost joy of becoming complete
Parvati, the vicious, never felt so alive
Take a breath and learn this lesson
You've been subject to your own suppression
Neither the world nor your life
It's you alone who caused your strife
"Champeya gourardha sareerakayai
Karpoora gourardha sareerakaya
Dhamillakayai cha jatadaraya
Nama Shivayai cha namaha Shivaya"
Within us all two flames burn
One that is tender and one that is stern
For neither he nor she can suffice
It must be the combined light of both
Our energies are all the same
There's the female and there's the male
You will never live a complete life
If all you have done is live on one side
"Champeya gourardha sareerakayai
Karpoora gourardha sareerakaya
Dhamillakayai cha jatadaraya
Nama Shivayai cha namaha Shivaya"
"Champeya gourardha sareerakayai
Karpoora gourardha sareerakaya
Dhamillakayai cha jatadaraya
Nama Shivayai cha namaha Shivaya"
Ardhanarishvara
"Champeya gourardha sareerakayai
Karpoora gourardha sareerakaya
Dhamillakayai cha jatadaraya
Nama Shivayai cha namaha Shivaya"
