about

The lyrics present a part of a prayer to Moirai, ancient Greek incarnations of Destiny.

Rough translation to English by C. M. Bowra (for more context, see BOWRA, C. M., 1958. A Prayer to the Fates. The Classical Quarterly Vol. 8, No. ¾, pp. 231–⁠240):

“Hearken, Fates, who sit nearest of the gods by the throne of Zeus, and on shuttles of adamant weave countless, inescapable devices for counsels of every kind, Aisa and Clotho and Lachesis, fine-armed daughters of Night, listen to our prayers, goddesses of heaven and earth, all-terrible; send us rose-bosomed Lawfulness and her brightly thorned sisters, Right and crowned Peace, and make this city forget the misfortunes which lie heavily on her heart.”

lyrics

Κλύτε, Μοιραι, Διός αι τε παρά θρόνον αγχοτάτω θεών
εζόμεναι περιώσι`αφυκτά τε μήδεα
παντοδαπάν βουλάν αδαμαντίναισιν υφαίνετε κερκίσιν,
Αισα καί Κλωθώ Λάχεσις τ'ευώλενοι
Νυκτός κόραι,
ευχομένων επακούσατ', ουράνιαι χθόνιαί τε
δαίμονες ώ πανδείματοι,
πέμπετ' άμμιν ροδόκολπον
Ευνομιαν λιπαροθρόνους τ'αδελφάς, Δίκαν
καί στεφανηφόρον Ειρήναν, πόλιν τε τάνδε βαρυθρόνων λελάθοιτε
συντυχιαν.

Lichočar Czechia

We are ladies of midday and mistresses of woods. A witch folk band, wailing and creaking stories about a certain shadow from the heart of Europe, somewhere called the wickman, somewhere Lichočar.
