The forest swallows the light,
Chorus: The forest swallows the light!
Male: The goat feeds on the forest,
Chorus: The goat feeds on the forest!
The tiger devours the goat,
Chorus: The tiger devours the goat!
Male: This is hunger, man!
Chorus: This is hunger, man!
Ah ah ah

Death swallows the tiger,
Time swallows death,
Goddess Kali swallows time whole,
This is the ultimate hunger!
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
One relentlessly chases,
Ah, the other flees to avoid being caught!
If it gets caught, this one dies,
If it escapes, that one starves to death!
When hunger strikes a living being here,
Another life must surely be sacrificed, man!
Hey, run, run, little goat!
When the tiger comes, the whole forest trembles... hey!
For a fish, the worm is the bait,
For a bird, the grain is the snare,
For a dog, the bone is the trap,
For man, desire is the eternal trap!
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
At the Bannari Amman temple,
She demands goats and roosters as sacrifices.
The blade is smeared with blood,
Give an offering to the deity to get a blessing,
This is the journey of destiny!
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
The weak man suffers and struggles,
This is the undeniable truth of the world!
That the strong man celebrates and thrives,
Is the lesson taught by time... ah!
In the face of hunger, justice and fairness mean nothing,
The kingdom belongs in the hands of the strong!
Hey, run, run, little goat!
When the tiger comes, the whole forest trembles... hey!
Staying submissive is a mistake,
Chorus: A mistake!
Male: The one who strikes holds the power,
Chorus: The power!
Male: The way of force reigns supreme,
Chorus: Supreme!
Male: Before a hard hit, the whole world bows down!
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
The one who attacks stays on top,
The one who hesitates falls to the bottom.
The lesson you learn from a hard blow,
Even the Buddha never taught, man!
