Three bitches and witches from hell, sisters of the night, horrific and pale.

Eyes of single purpose and jealous rage, full of venom and poison and murder they wage.

Cruelty unrelenting - torment, suffering, madness and woe,

where hope nare not enter and fear is feared to go.

Lips tell of torture from forked tongues of fires

whips of vipers and wings of thorns - heads of snakes and crowns of horns

and anger never tires.

Alecto fuels her sister with rage incomplete,

Megaera feeds her sister with jealous cause to defeat,

Tissiphone fires her sister with vengeance and the circle will repeat.

Lust and thirst for murder and blood denied,

though sleepless and tireless, remains unsatisfied.

Three bitches and witches of hell; three sisters of blood ill bred

scourges and plagues of life - The Three Furies neither, live nor dead.
