You Muses Assist

Alasdair Roberts

Muses, you muses assist,

All downtrodden spirits uplift.

See the eagle, see the eagle,

See the eagle boldly leading.

So do we all, so do we all,

So do we all blandly rally.

Underneath, underneath,

Underneath a threadbare banner.

See the reaper, see the reaper,

See the reaper keep the tally.

All around, the happy sound

The happy sound of industry ringing.

And all around, the awful sound

The awful sound of industry ringing.

You muses, you muses assist,

All downtrodden spirits uplift.

Ye muses, ye muses assist,

All downtrodden spirits uplift.

Now the [???]

We must attack her.

Sterile rounds, sterile rounds,

and simulacra.

Firebrand, firebrand,

and simulacra.

You muses, you muses desist,

You muses, you muses, desist.
