தீய வழியிலே
தீயும் வளருது ஊரும்
நடுங்கியதே மாய
உலகிலே நியாயம்
குறையுது போர் கண்
எதிரினிலே
On the evil path
Fire keeps growing
The town shivered in fear
In this illusory world
Justice is diminishing
Right in front of the eyes of war
போகும் பாதையும்
காடாய் மாறும் காயம்
நேரும் தானாய் ஆரும்
வாழும் நேரம் யாவும்
வீரம் பாம்பாய் துரத்தும்
பரம பதம்
The path you travel
Will turn into a jungle
Wounds will occur and heal on their own
All the time spent living is bravery
Snakes and ladders chase like a serpent
தீய வழியிலே
தீயும் வளருது ஊரும்
நடுங்கியதே மாய
உலகிலே நியாயம்
குறையுது போர் கண்
எதிரினிலே
On the evil path
Fire keeps growing
The town shivered in fear
In this illusory world
Justice is diminishing
Right in front of the eyes of war
உள்ளே வெறியும்
கண்ணில் பகையும்
கல்லாய் மனமும்
ஆட்டி படைத்திடும்
Frenzy within
Enmity in the eyes
A heart like stone
Rules and dictates
சில்லாய் உடையும்
இங்கே மனிதம் மண்ணில்
சரியும் யாவும் அழிந்திடும்
Shattering into pieces
Humanity here
Falls to the ground
Everything will be destroyed
தோல்வி பயத்திலே
வாலை எடுத்தவன் வைக்க
மறந்துவிட்டான் கேள்வி
கேட்டிட யாரும் இல்லையென
வீசி பழகிவிட்டான்
Out of fear of defeat
The one who drew the sword
Forgot to put it down
Thinking there is no one to question him
Got used to brandishing it
தீய வழியிலே
தீயும் வளருது ஊரும்
நடுங்கியதே மாய
உலகிலே நியாயம்
குறையுது போர் கண்
எதிரினிலே
On the evil path
Fire keeps growing
The town shivered in fear
In this illusory world
Justice is diminishing
Right in front of the eyes of war
யுத்தம் நடக்கும்
சத்தம் மிரட்டும் வஞ்சம்
துரத்தும் வாட்டி
வதைத்திடும்
War will rage
The sound will intimidate
Vengeance will chase
It will torment and torture
செய்யும் வினையும்
உன்னை விரட்டும் சொல்லால்
வருத்தும் காட்டி கொடுத்திடும்
The deeds you perform
Will haunt you back
Will cause grief through words
Will expose and betray you
நியாயம் ஜெயிக்கிற
நாளில் மனிதனாய் நீயும்
மாறி நிற்பாய் பாவ
கணக்குகள் தீர்க்கும்
வழிகளை தேடி நீயும்
கற்பாய்
On the day justice wins
As a true human
You will stand transformed
Ways to settle
The accounts of sin
You will seek and learn
{ தீய வழியிலே
தீயும் வளருது ஊரும்
நடுங்கியதே மாய
உலகிலே நியாயம்
குறையுது போர் கண்
எதிரினிலே } (3)
On the evil path
Fire keeps growing
