redeemer of the universe
powerful, fierce (Deity)
a child to me

drunk on the blood
of my enemies
blood drooling from your
mouth, dripping from your
lolling tongue

a garland of skulls
hangs from your neck
do they know you?
do they fear you?

they are frightened of men
how much more terrified
of you, my ravenous child?

slayer of the slayer (Siva)
principle of change
destroyer of stasis
disintegrator of form
destroyer of time
annihilator of space
redeemer of the universe
do they know you?
do they fear you?
do they love you?

what secrets
does your fierce form hide
progenitrix of Infinity?
