Maha Kali Lyrics
Maha Kali
Maha Kali, dark mother dance for me
Let the purity of your nakedness awaken me
Yours are the fires of deliverance which shall bring me bliss
Yours is the cruel sword which shall set my spirit free
Devourer of life and death who rule beyond time
In thy name I shall fullfil my destiny divine
Maha Kali, formless one, destroyer of illusion
Your songs forever sung, the tunes of dissolution
Kalika, black tongue of fire, embrace me
Make me one with your power for all eternity
Awaken within me the reflection of your flame
Kiss me with your bloody lips and drive me insane
Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!
Make me one with your power for all eternity
Maha Kali come to me
Smashana Kali, I burn myself for thee
I cut my own throat in obscene ecstasy
I make love to abominations, embrace pain and misery
Until my heart becomes the burning ground and Kali comes to me
O dark mother, hear me calling thee
Mahapralaya, bring to me
Through all illusions I shall see
I shall cremate this world and set my essence free
Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!
Without fear I will dance with death and misery
Maha Kali, come to me
�O Kali, thou art fond of cremation grounds
So I have turned my heart into one, that thou
may dance there unceasingly.
O mother, I have no other fond desire in my
heart. Fire of a funeral pyre is burning there.�
Female voice:
Jai Maha Kali, Jai Ma Kalika
Jai Maha Kali, Jai Ma Kalika
Kali Mata, namo nama

Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!
At your left hand for endless victory

its about a hindu goddess ..called mahakali.. she is like the goddess of destruction..people peirce their tounges and even cut them for her..
im not a hindu..but my parents are
You are right it is about a hindu goddess but she is called Kali and Maha is only the sanskrit word for great and mighty
i love this song! one of my fav dissection songs! anyway, about this song... The meaning is quite self explanatory. anyway...... Firstly, i am hindu. This song quite ironic really considering that the lead singer was a satanist. Maha (meaning divine mother) Kali (meaning black in tamil) is the hindu goddess (an entity of God) of war and destruction and the destroyer of evil. (so She is NOT AT ALL evil) and the hindu religion enforces that God is the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer of all things living. so, just as God created us all, He will destroy us all. i guess nodtviedt (not sure of the spelling) produced this song bcuz he knew he was going to kill himself and so he called out to Maha Kali to take him away. 'Jai Kalika Jai Kali. Kali Mata Namo Nama' sounds very similar to something out from a hindu service, or satsung. it seems like it is a Kali mantra but isn't bcuz people cannot create their own mantra. the proper Kali mantra is 'Om Sri Kalikaye Namah' mata means mother.
@Lord_nephthys Maha means "great". So Mahakali means The Great Kali.

@Lord_nephthys Thank you so much for the insight!
@Lord_nephthys Thank you so much for the insight!
I know you think its somewhat ironic, but do you think its actually very sad since Kali is the destroyer of evil, and Nödtveidt called for her to take him?

@Lord_nephthys Jon Nodtveidt was fighting against evil. Against the evil of matter, and against the evil demiurge that entrapped us in that hell on Earth. To him Satan is one of the eleven gods who shall destroy the cosmos and free our souls back into the primordial chaos. I don't know much about that topic but yeah, he wasn't necessarily evil.
