Lachesis Lyrics

Cover art for Lachesis lyrics by Katatonia

Lachesis was one of the Three Moirai (Fates) in Greek mythology. Her sisters were Clotho and Atropos & they were all daughters of Zeus and Themis. The name Lachesis derives from the verb meaning "to obtain by fate, lot, or divine will". In reference to the song, I think this applies to the destiny that one awaits who temps fate & realizes it's too late, they have gone too far (*the cards were dealt).
