Explanation about the Moirae is under the text!
Sincerely Dan
Clotho, Lachensis and Atropos
Free flying goddesses . . .
Turning in the wind . . .
Over the hills, and far away . . .
They are deciding our destiny
They have it in their hands
When we are bourn and
when we are going to die . . .
Oh sisters of fate!
Have mercy on us!
**************************
Moirae
"[Greek] The Fates, or Moirae, were the goddesses who controlled the destiny of everyone from the time they were born to the time they died. They were: Clotho, the spinner, who spun the thread of a person's life, Lachesis, the apportioner, who decided how much time was to be allowed each person, and Atropos, the inevitable, who cut the thread when you were supposed to die. Even though the other gods were almighty, and supposedly immortal, even Hera had reason to fear them. All were subject to the whims of the Fates. Ministers of the Fates were always oracles or soothsayers (seers of the future). The Fates were very important, but it is still unknown to who their parents were. There is some speculation that they might be the daughters of Zeus, however, this is debatable."
