Chorus :Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
Take up the deadly swords!
Slit their throats!
For our deity, Lord Kodiveeran,
let his fury be satisfied!
Take up the deadly swords!
Slit their throats!
For our deity, Lord Kodiveeran,
let his fury be satisfied!
Into the village where evil has stepped in,
Kodiveeran will march out to war!
Into the village where evil has stepped in,
Kodiveeran will march out to war!
Wipe out caste divisions!
Tear up ancient dogmas!
For our deity, Lord Kodiveeran,
let his wounds heal!
Wipe out caste divisions!
Tear up ancient dogmas!
For our deity, Lord Kodiveeran,
let his wounds heal!
Every day, all forms of treachery,
we will burn them down to ashes!
If it spins without our say,
we will stop the earth itself...
Hey, he is the guardian protector of our land!
At the sight of blood, his fury erupts!
The guardian deity of our clan,
he is Kodiveeran, our warrior!
To the fierce protector deity Muni,
a blood sacrifice was due.
Only today, brothers,
has that old debt been paid!
Oh... ho ho ho
Oh... ho ho ho
Oh... ho ho ho ho
Oh... ho ho ho ho
Oh... ho ho ho ho
Oh... ho ho ho ho
Take up the deadly swords!
Slit their throats!
For our deity, Lord Kodiveeran,
let his fury be satisfied!
Take up the deadly swords!
Slit their throats!
For our deity, Lord Kodiveeran,
let his fury be satisfied!
Into the village where evil has stepped in,
Kodiveeran will march out to war!
Into the village where evil has stepped in,
Kodiveeran will march out to war!
Wipe out caste divisions!
Tear up ancient dogmas!
For our deity, Lord Kodiveeran,
let his wounds heal!
Wipe out caste divisions!
Tear up ancient dogmas!
For our deity, Lord Kodiveeran,
let his wounds heal!
Every day, all forms of treachery,
we will burn them down to ashes!
If it spins without our say,
we will stop the earth itself...

Slit their throats!
For our deity, Lord Kodiveeran,
