LYRICS:
(1)
He’s walking through the dead of night, he reached Arjuna’s camp
Asvatthama’s wicked mind was filled with cruel intent
To kill Draupadi’s sleeping sons, he raised his sharpened knife
And one and by one by heinous act, each son gave us his life.
(2)
The beating heart of Arjuna said, “His act was of surely low.”
The blazing eyes of copper fire, he took his vengeful vow
To pacify Draupadi’s grief, Arjuna then declared
That you shall take a bath upon this Asvatthama’s head.
(3)
As Krsna reigned the horses in, Arjuna took his stand
With binding speeds, their chariots soon sped across the land
Asvatthama’s beating heart was filled with deadly fear
To see Arjuna from afar, Krsna, his charioteer.
(4)
As his horses tired with no escape, Arjuna close in hand
Asvatthama understood he had to make a stand
He then released the blazing arrow of great veracity
While chanting hymns for throwing weapons of nuclear energy
(5)
The heat of this radiation spread out everywhere
The son of the Drona didn’t know how to retract the glare
Arjuna understood from Krsna what he had to do
How to counteract the weapon Asvatthama threw
(6)
Once he’s cast his weapons forth by the power of mantra’s sound
The burning rays of both brahmastras fiercely ends the ground
Standing forth scorching fire far into outer space
Annihilation of the planets was destined to take place
(7)
Arjuna being expert in the military field
At once, he’s retracted both brahmastras the fire was concealed
The all ends in a war of some five thousand years ago
Asvatthama surrendered to Arjuna’s Gandiva bow
