Oh, Baboo, in this age, this age, two evils reside,
In this time, this time, two evils collide.
One, love's gaze, a dangerous tide,
The other, the knife, where sorrows hide,
In this age, this time, two evils confide.

The knife's work and gaze, their tasks aligned,
The knife's work and gaze, their fates entwined,
Both are disgraced, their shadows defined,
In every tale, their darkness you'll find,
In this age, this time, two evils designed.
One, love's gaze, a perilous kind,
The other, the knife, where sorrows unwind,
In this age, this time, two evils combined.

If wisdom’s embrace can mend what is torn,
If wisdom’s embrace can greet a new morn,
If wisdom’s embrace can guide what is born,
In a madman's grasp, self is forlorn,
In the test of time, two evils are sworn.
One, love's gaze, forever sworn,
The other, the knife, where grief is born,
In this age, this time, two evils adorn.

Yet both are essential, for worlds to be made,
Yet both are essential, a price that is paid,
Yet both are essential, a destiny swayed,
One for the foe, a treacherous cascade,
One for the beloved, a heart's serenade,
In the aim of time, two evils are laid,
One, love's gaze, never to be swayed,
The other, the knife, a life decayed,
In this age, this time, two evils persuade.
In this age, this time, two evils pervade.
In this time.
