The Moirai


As long as we can remember,

We've cared for your fates.

Your birth

Your life 

Your death

Each attending to our own responsibility,

To watch over you.

 

You may not know the struggles we've suffered through

The atrocities we've comitted

The sacrifices we've made

But we do this task for you,

No matter what it takes.

 

Depicted as villians in a hero's battle,

We've never been seen for our purpose.

But no matter how misunderstood

We wouldn't dare tip the balance 

Or change any moment, 

For we're immortals after all 

So what better thing to do for eternity

Than to toy with humanity

And decide the fate of this world.
