Ohh……ohhhh….ohhh…oooo
Theeya vazhiyilae……
On the wicked path,
a fire keeps growing,
and the whole town trembles.
In this deceptive world,
justice is fading,
with war right before our eyes.
The path ahead
turns into a jungle.
Wounds will happen and heal on their own.
All the time you live calls for courage.
Snakes chase you down in this game of life.
On the wicked path,
a fire keeps growing,
and the whole town trembles.
In this deceptive world,
justice is fading,
with war right before our eyes.
A fury within,
hatred in the eyes,
and a heart of stone
will take complete control.
Shattered into pieces,
humanity here
collapses into the dirt,
and everything will be destroyed.
Out of fear of defeat,
the one who drew his sword
forgot to put it back.
Thinking there is no one to question him,
he grew used to swinging it around.
On the wicked path,
a fire keeps growing,
and the whole town trembles.
In this deceptive world,
justice is fading,
with war right before our eyes.
War will break out,
the noise will terrify,
vengeance will pursue you,
and torture you with pain.
The deeds you commit
will hunt you down,
torment you with words,
and give you away.
On the day justice wins,
as a true human being,
you will stand transformed.
Ways to settle
the debts of your sins,
you too will search and learn.
{On the wicked path,
a fire keeps growing,
and the whole town trembles.
In this deceptive world,
justice is fading,
with war right before our eyes.} (x3)
Oh…… Ohhhhh…. Ohhh… Oooo
On the wicked path……
