Inspire me with your grace and song
To honor all the Kindreds.
Take my head, my hand, my heart.
Muses Nine, sing through me.
Write a story and tell a tale;
Eloquent and fair.
Rhyme and meter will guide our voice.
Kalliope, sing through me.
Sing to keep the world alive;
Remember well the past.
Guide the world with your memory.
Kleio, sing through me.
Write to keep emotions strong;
Awaken all the senses.
The lovers’ hearts will heed your call.
Erato, sing through me.
Inspire me with your grace and song
To honor all the Kindreds.
Take my head, my hand, my heart.
Muses Nine, sing through me.
My steps fall into your beat;
Guide my footsteps wisely.
All hearts beat in your dance.
Terpsikhore, sing through me.
Sadness dwells within your eyes;
Others understand you.
Make open hearts awake unbound.
Melpomene, sing through me.
Smiling eyes and laughing soul;
You make my spirit soar.
Making all the world seem right.
Thaleia, sing through me.
Inspire me with your grace and song
To honor all the Kindreds.
Take my head, my hand, my heart.
Muses Nine, sing through me.
Speaking all the thoughts you hear;
The verse maintains the mystery.
Prophecy and love you know
Euterpe, sing through me.
The stars are twinkling in your dance;
A science you know best.
Shine down your wisdom, bright.
Ourania, sing through me.
Sing all your praise aloud;
Raise your arms to the sky.
The folk below call to the Gods.
Polyhymnia, sing through me.
Inspire me with your grace and song
To honor all the Kindreds.
Take my head, my hand, my heart.
Muses Nine, sing through me.
Inspire me with your grace and song
To honor all the Kindreds.
Take my head, my hand, my heart.
Muses Nine, sing through me.
Inspire me with your grace and song.
