The Norns who weave the tapestry
which rules the fate of mortal men.
Can make mistakes apparently
and some time have to think again.

Though each one blames the other two
and none will admit to their mistake
They have to weave the threads anew.
A lengthy process which can take

almost the life span of a man.
But even Norns are governed by.
The need to heed the master plan,
they have no choice the rules apply

A single thread that’s out of place
can alter mankind’s history.
So they comply with little grace.
What is to be must come to be.

Has man no choice but play the part?
They’ve woven in their tapestry
His path through life right from the start
is fore ordained: no man is free.

The three weird sisters can foresee
future events and bind them fast,
As pictures in their tapestry.
No mortal man can overcast.

The lasting spell the sisters weave.
Although he thinks his will is free.
It matters not what we believe
and therein lies the mystery.

If we believe that this is true.
We are but puppets on a string
and there is little we can do.
To change the slightest little thing.

But I rebel I don’t believe
and make my way as best I can
Accomplish what I can achieve
I am no puppet I’m a man.
