L2 Empuran’s Azrael Lyrics Translation
One passage questions if Elohim’s wrath can stop the entity’s surge of judgment. The lyrics later name this figure the emperor who guards Gehenna. The speaker then requests this sovereign’s hand in an act of submission.
Ee Sheolin DheeraThis hero of ‘Sheol’
Thee Aalunna DevaThe god who burns like fire
Thamolokadhaara Vaazhum ShehanshaThe ‘Shehansha’ who rules the realm of darkness
Nee Thanne Nee ThanneeyoIs it you, is it really you?
Paaraake Chaarum Niyyathin ChoraThe blood of justice that stains the world
Nirantharamaayi Vaanam ThulaykkumWill forever pierce the sky
Thokkinte Kaanchi EthoLike the trigger of some gun
Elohim Thante Pakayode NinteCan ‘Elohim’, with all his wrath,
Qiyaama Kuthippin Padham MoodumoBlock the path of your ‘Qiyaama’ surge?
Veerode Vellum ViraadaswaroopamA ‘Viraadaswaroopam’, a cosmic form that conquers with valor
Kiraatha Salaaraay Kalam MaaykkumoAs a merciless commander, will you erase the battlefield?
Azrael AzraelAzrael, Azrael (‘Angel of Death’)

Deyvangal Ninte Durgangal KandeWhen the gods see your fortresses,
Vighaathashamaalaay Kara ThaandumoWill they cross the shores as a storm of ruin?
Neeraay Janikkum Nee Naal MarikkumBorn of water, you too will die someday
Vishaapathuruthaay Ividam MaarumoWill this place become an island of poison?
