These are the lyrics to a piece I wrote and composed the music for back, heck somewhere between 1990-1991.
This was inspired by my reading Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series.
I have an old recording from "way back when" of this song that I burned from casette to mp3.
You can listen to it (and others) here:

Incarnations of Immortality (c) 1990-2005 by Hawke

There's a mistress of fate
Three into on they make
And they will not wait
for any Man...

Death rides on a horse
Pale, and steady of course
Collecting his souls
of Everyman...

There's a slave of destiny
Who cannot be set free
And follows the threads
of the Tapestry...

From the mists of Chaos
She does form her threads
To weave the pattern
of You and Me...

(Chorus)
(Chorus part 1:)
(Chord progression: E, F, G, A)
So you thought you could
do what you wanted,
Live life to the fullest
everything you wanted,
But when Thanatos
does arrive,
When you are no longer alive...

(Chorus part 2)
(Chord progression: Dmin, Cmin, Dmin, C#min, Cmin, G, Ab, A)
You will see how gaunt your soul is,
And you will never find solace.
You'll fall down
to Lucifer's old realm.
Where Satan rules,
You'll pay your dues.

(Chorus part 3)
(Chord Progression: D,A, C, G)
But the cycle
will continue
You'll be
Stuck.
You can run
if you want to
You're out of luck.
The flames will
keep on burning you
you'll be stuck.

(finale)
There's a mistress of fate
And no one can make
her
late.
