He is the fierce Shiva of this land!
A man who rips out throats, a deadly boon!
Run, keep running every single day!
He is a brother to death itself!
With a tiger's lethal grip, he comes, he comes!
Like a machete slashing at the throat, the throat!
Die, die every single day!
Hey you scum, you are nothing but soft prey!
It is coming, doom is waiting for you!
Every part of his body is raging fire!
It is coming, doom is waiting for you!
This is the calm smile before he strikes you down!
No matter what anyone says,
Even if the God of Death himself says it,
Standing ready to fight with a thunderous beat,
This is a ruthless penance that devours your mind!
Only when that life is taken,
Will this demon-slaying rage finally cool down!
Come forth!
Come forth!
Like a ritual offering of blood,
Come roaring like a volcano!
Burn it all down and march on!
O warrior!
O warrior!
You are the fatal fire of death!
Only when that life is taken,
Will this demon-slaying rage finally cool down!
Come forth!
Come forth!
Like a ritual offering of blood,
Come roaring like a volcano!
Burn it all down and march on!
O warrior!
O warrior!
You are the fatal fire of death!

The protagonist is depicted as an terrifying force akin to Lord Shiva in his destructive form, hunting down his target with animalistic precision. The song emphasizes that his rage will not cool down until the target is destroyed, equating his quest to 'Asuravadham' (the slaying of a demon).
