Shall I chop? Shall I crush?
With veins bulging out in rage?
Shall I calm it down or blow it apart?
Shall I drag you across the dirt?
Shall I destroy the enemy?
Shall I assemble an army?
With eyebrows furrowed in fury,
As dust flies all around,
And the tiger strides forth,
Step right in, step in, step into the ring!
Come and face me!
To make the enemies shudder in terror,
Shall I land the first blow?
I am raging, burning with fury!
You will end up flat, turning into headlines,
As the war rages on and on,
You will be lying on the ground!
The time we waited for has ripened,
The moment has arrived, burning with rage!
Rage, rage, rage!
Rage, rage...
Is he Ravana? Is he Ravana?
Will he become Ravana?
To wage war, to unleash frenzy, to battle it out—
Is it him?
Is he Ravana? Is he Ravana?
Will he become Ravana?
To wage war, to unleash frenzy, to battle it out—
Is it him?
Shall I come and smash you out of shape?
Shall I strike until heads shatter?
All alone, like a volcano,
I am coming all alone!
Hold on, strike him down, wait!
It is an all-out brawl!
From now on it is a brawl, endure the beatdown!
A counter-strike, this is payback,
Delivered by both my hands,
The very first blow!
Pure rage, a wild madness is born!
Pure rage, massive sparks are flying!
Pure rage, a wild madness is born!
Pure rage, the enemy ranks are shattered!
Rage, rage, rage!
Rage, rage...
A bloodbath to this rhythm, a bloodbath!
A bloodbath to this rhythm, a bloodbath!
A bloodbath to this rhythm, a bloodbath!
A bloodbath to this rhythm, a bloodbath!
A bloodbath to this rhythm, a bloodbath!
A bloodbath to this rhythm, a bloodbath!
I am Ravana! I am Ravana!
I am Ravana!
I am coming! I am coming!
I am coming!
I am Ravana! I am Ravana!
I am Ravana!
I am coming! I am coming!
I am coming!
