The Seven Sisters Lyrics


The seven daughters

of Atlas and Pleione

The seven children of the sea.

The seven nymphs

Guided by Artemis,

who become

Seven stars in the sky

Atlas was forced

to carry the heavens.

Orion chased the Pleiades.

Zeus transformed them

into doves

and then into stars

to comfort their father

Maia, Electra, Taygete, Alcyone, Celaeno, Sterope, Merope

The seven sisters

Who choose to die

Saddened by

The fate of their father

But they were

to become immortal

Forever to shine

in the night skies

Lead: Den

Lead: Dan

The seven daughters

of Atlas and Pleione.

The seven children of the sea.

The seven nymphs

Guided by Artemis,

who become

Seven stars in the sky

The seven sisters

Who choose to die

Saddened by

the fate of their father

But they were

to become immortal

Forever to shine

in the night skies

The Pleiades

Stars in constellation.

Six of the shining, bright stars.

The seventh is shamed

for eternity.

For marrying a mortal

and faded away.

Maia, Electra,

Taygete, Alcyone,

Celaeno, Sterope,

Merope
