Lyrics from Animelyrics.com Anemos can never forgive those who disgrace god's domain The anger fused with Brochi and will conceive Thyella.	Lyrics from Animelyrics.com Anemos can never forgive those who disgrace god's domain The anger fused with Brochi and will conceive Thyella. [5]

[1] Hetaerae were high-class courtesans of ancient Greece, similar to the Japanese oiran. Unlike most Greek women outside of Sparta, they were highly educated and could own property and participate in symposia.

[2] Pornai were the lowest class of prostitutes, essentially sex slaves owned by their pimps. Some eventually managed to buy their freedom and became independent prostitutes or even hetaerae--which seems to be the case for the women in this song.

[3] This word seems to be an invented feminine noun form of the ancient Greek adjective meaning "public" or "belonging to the people" (the same word that forms the root of "democracy"). Here it might refer to independent prostitutes, or might just refer to the women of the general public.

[4] "Haru o hisagu," or "to sell spring," is a euphemism for prostitution.

[5] "Anemos" means "wind", "Brochi" means "rain", and "Thyella" means "storm". In the mythology of Moira, the meanings of the gods' names show what their domains are.
