................
தீமை என்றும்
எளிதில் வெல்லும் வெல்லும்
ஏறும் ஒரு விஷம் போல
Evil will always
Win easily, win
Like a rising poison
உன்னை ஒரு
மிருகமாய் மாற்றி விட்டுக் கொல்லும்
அது மெல்ல மெல்ல
Transforming you into
A beast, and then killing you
It slowly, slowly...
.......................
தீமை தான் உன்னை
ஒரு வித போதை..இல்
வைக்குமே
பூமி உன்னை பார்த்து சிரித்தாலும்
உன் கண்ணை மறைக்குமே
Evil itself will keep you
In a kind of intoxication...
It will place you
Even if the earth laughs at you
It will hide your vision

உலகமே எங்கள் ஆடுகளம்
ஆடிடுவோம் எங்க ஆட்டம்
தடுத்திட… கடவுள் வந்தால் கூட
ஓயாது எங்கள் குருதி வேட்டை
The whole world is our playground
We will play our game
Even if God comes to stop us
Our blood hunt will not cease
ஆசைகள் கொஞ்சம்
பேராசைகள் கொஞ்சம்
தீமைகள் செய்ய உன்னை தூண்டுமே
A few desires
A few extreme greeds
Will urge you to commit evil acts
ஒரு முறை செய்த தீமை உன்னை
மறுபடி செய்ய தூண்டுமே
இனிமேல் தீமை
இந்த உலகை ஆளுமே
ஹாஹாஹா
An evil done once
Will prompt you to do it again
From now on, evil
Will rule this world
Hahahaha...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song explores the insidious and intoxicating nature of evil. It portrays evil as a slow-acting poison that gradually transforms a human being into a beast, blinding their moral compass with greed and base desires. Once committed, a bad deed creates a vicious cycle that prompts repeated transgressions, tempting villains into believing that wickedness rules the world and that even divine power cannot halt their hunt. However, despite the dark claims of unstoppable greed and blood hunts that defy divine intervention, the song concludes on a moral and redemptive note. It asserts that despite the temporary dominance of evil, wickedness will ultimately be eradicated, and truth will prevail over darkness.
