Bios[Βίος], the horizontal flame of life--
The weaver of the universe uses both strings... If this is the reason we call it destiny......

Moira

Thanatos[Θάνατος]--
The lord of Hades and the dead man's king
The living are terrified by the real [god of death]

“Yes... I am death itself”

He loves her just as much as he loves him
Be it a king or a slave, a saint or a prostitute, let them all be loved impartially

He loves the living[you] just as much as he loves the dead[us]
Be it an elderly or a youth, a poet or a hero, let them all scatter equally

Mother[Moira]... if you continue to bring forth life, then...

Thanatos will--
by killing all those that have life
continue to take away

"Welcome to Hades!"
[Καλώς ορίσατε στην ᾍδης!]

You died, you simply died
[Πήγες, μόνο πήγες.]
You died, you simply died
[Πήγες, μόνο πήγες.]

Not knowing why you came here, toyed by the hands of fate
You died, you simply died
[Πήγες, μόνο πήγες.]

Let’s greet the unfortunate princess [Πήγαινα στην υποδοχή ], let’s go and greet the blood-stained bride [Πήγαινα στην υποδοχή ]
Carrying death in his eyes, he is Θ’s[my] vessel

The night he murders his mother, I shall go and greet him, and two will become one

The everlasting silence of Thanatos... His stare conveys death

“Leontius...look”
“Misia!”
“Elef!”
“I’ve been looking for you, Polydeuces.”
“Hurry up, you good-for-nothings!”
“Misia-!”
“Elef-!”
“Wow~”
“This is...Ilion?”
“That perverted priest...I’ll kill that bastard someday!”
“Ah...ah...”
“Quench my thirst...”
“Noooooooooo!!”
“Please come in.”
“Let’s end this master-disciple relationship here...”
“We will sing.”
“Master!”
“Hydra...take this offering...”
“UAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!”

Someday you will learn that
This world has no fairness, except for Θ[him]
Ruled by the ruthless goddess
This world has no fairness, except for Θ[him]

Be it soon, be it late, separation is inevitable
Yes... Θ[I] am Death[Thanatos]

Mother[Moira]... if you continue to bring forth life
And inflict pain upon those frightened children, then...

Θ[Thanatos] will--
by killing all those that have life,
continue to bring them salvation
