I walked the halls of marbled stone (Praise to Athena, praise to Athena) Wisdom's temple, wisdom's throne (Praise to Athena, praise to Athena) In her eyes, the owl did swirl (Praise to Athena, praise to Athena) (Praise to Athena, shield and pearl) Guided by the olive's peace (Praise to Athena, wisdom's lease) Her olive branch, wars do cease Amidst the scrolls and sacred lore (Seek through Athena, seek through Athena) Learning's torch she evermore (Speak of Athena, wisdom's arena) In her glow we find our course (Shield of Athena, shield of Athena) Muse's patron, from the start (Grasp with Athena, clasp with Athena) In her embrace, our hearts alight (Wisdom's sirens) We walk her path, the olive groves (Praise to Athena, where wisdom roves) Where thought and reason, freedom loves (Praise to Athena, as she behooves) By her hand, the city thrives (Virtue of Athena, where spirit derives)
