lyrics
She spits out the ashes into heaven
Calls up the fire from the earth
Rules as the angel of the mountain
The bringer of our death and our birth
Eyes are the colour of the lava
Heart is the darkness of the coal
She reaches her talons into chaos
Drawing up the juices of your soul
She has the power, she has the might
Now is her hour, now is her night
Out of the turning, out of the dark
She is the burning, she is the spark
Kali Kali Kali
She spits out the ashes into heaven
Calls up the fire from the earth
Rules as the angel of the mountain
The bringer of our death and our birth
(Chant)
Kuan Yin, Hecate, Athena
Spirits of the sky and the trees
Morrigan, Ariel, Medusa
Her sisters through the centuries
She is the sleeper, she is the curse
She is the reaper of the universe
All the past story, all that has been
She is the glory, she is the queen
She is the breath, she is the storm
She carries death to everything born
She brings despair, she brings the joy
She can repair, she can destroy
Kali Kali Kali (with chant)
Her arms are whirling like the cosmos
Her hair is leaping like a snake
Her laugh makes the whole earth tremble
Her step makes the humanity shake
Of all the spinning, she is the spin
All the beginning, she will begin
She is the sleeper, she is the curse
She is the reaper of the universe
She brings despair, she brings the joy
She can repair, she can destroy
