The Way Of All Ways Gone Are The Days

This is The Way of all Ways

This story started
When a pretty girl got laid
For seeds were doomed to fertilize the egg
The second thread came
When I was in the womb
Another one was spun as soon as I saw
Tthe light

Oh Clotho stern
Thy spindle works
So restlessly

Yes, her choice is sensible
Yes, there’s freedom in her deeds
And her hands, as thin as spider’s legs
Move so gently yet with much precision

Being lost in universe
I’m floating up and down with no landmarks for me
My destination is clear and still obscure
The wind is strong, I can’t adjust the sails

All my life I’ve been unraveling threads
Of my fate
They’re so entangled
I cut them again, again
Alas, all in vain

‘Tis not that simple
Zoon politicon
Other people's lives are interlinked to mine
All threads are single
And yet they overlap
You never know which one is to be crucial

Hell is that others exist
Hell is when they move around
I depend on what they do and say
Though I am aloof and lost

A ball of snakes
is what these lines look like
And I’m taken aback by looming worms
Pick up my rusted sword and cut, cut, cut

All my life I’ve been unraveling threads
Of my fate
They’re so entangled
I cut them again, again
Alas, all in vain

Три сестрицы под окном
Всё прядут подобно вдовам
Безучастно, методично
Я для них никто

I am mortal
'Tis the burden that I bear
The three stubborn sisters fail to notice me
I swear
They have no feelings
Unsympathetic machines
Is this the end of my tether?

Don’t they ever have to worry?
Don’t you ever wonder why?
Never
You’ll never reach your final goal
No, no, never
For there are no final goals at all

May you escape
All the bitter things
Which the wreathed spindle
Of apportioned Moira
Has spun for your fate
If the threads of the Moirai
Ever obey!
