It’s quite a thrill to be
controlling human destiny –
but not for me…
I spin the threads of life, you see.
A worthy task –
It’s quite a thrill to be.
I give your life a length, or three.
What strength –
but not for me…
I cut life from the human tree.
How sublime –
It’s quite a thrill to be.
Three Greek maids are we:
Clothos, Lachesis and Atropos –
but not for me…
Predestination is my game,
no matter what you call my name.
It’s quite a thrill to be –
but not for me…
