Nataraja - The Dance of Cosmos

Nataraja

O my Lord, Thy dance to the tune of life
Is a blissful dance over the illusive death
Thou hast destroyed and hast created
So the cosmos liveth with thine infused breath 

With thy hands, lifted for care 
Thou shalt protect and annihilate all fear 
The ego shalt uncoil as the snakes uncoil
From thy arms and thy braided hair 

Grant me peace, O creator of time
Our tired souls touch thy feet
With the sacred fire which thou carry
Bringest the change to make us complete
