The song begins with the rumble of drums and ends with the sound of a rumble. It's about time for the rumble to end. The narrator says that the rumble is a sign that the world is falling into darkness. He tells the audience that it's time to rumble. He says that he's had enough of the "highness" of the people around him, and that they should just return to the earth. He reminds them that they can't control the "powers" of a snake king like Rukhnabad. He warns them that if they don't get rid of him now, he'll be back in the snake king's power in a few years. He also warns them not to get carried away with their highness, because they're going to be punished for it. They should hit him as often as they want, he says, and he won't be able to keep his highness any longer. The rumble stops, and the narrator swears loyalty to the shah. The men who survived the battle form a squadron. They're not going to kill him, says the narrator. He's not sure what to do with Rakshadan, so he waits for him to come back to the city. He doesn't want to chase him around, he tells the narrator, because he has other things to worry about. He wants to report what happened to the "damned arslan" .
