Doreen Younglove is featured vocalist on first chorus.

Kali Mantra:
“Om Kring Kalikaye Namah”
This mantra is simple and transforms the devotee to pure consciousness.

Kali Ma is known as the preserve of Earth, but due to her destructive powers she is also known as “Dark Mother”. The name Kali means She, who is Beyond Time.
To aid her son in his endeavor to rid the three worlds of the multiplying demon, Raktabija, Parvati entered the cosmic battlefield as the dreaded goddess Kali – dark as death, gaunt with sunken eyes, gaping mouth, with long disheveled hair covering her naked body.

She is considered as a berserk form of Durga/Parvati, who is the consort of Lord Shiva. Kali Ma is simultaneously portrayed as the giver and destructor of life. However, in most of the interpretations, she is portrayed as ferocious and evil.

She is the mother of the world and the treasure-house of compassion. She is considered as the primordial mass from which all life arose.

BRIDGE:
D G
My family moved away and we lost touch.
The pain of losing Queero was too much.
But the memories of our friendship made me strong
To face my hardships for many years to come.
My Facebook searches found the woman who grew from that girl.
I finally felt her loving embrace at my Mother's funeral.

She's still my friend

she's still my shero

Living in our hometown

Are powerful witches

we say double double toil and trouble
fire burn and cauldron bubble (repeat)
