Onward we march Our throats cracked and dry
If we fall upon their blades With honor we shall die
Suffer unto me Xerxes the God-king
Threatening all we love Sparta is our home
Come and take it! Bring it on!
In defiance of your tyranny
Sparta will stand strong
I see the signs A tyrant on the rise
Will you stand free? Will you defy?
I see the signs A tyrant on the rise
Will you fall to your knees? Will you stand and fight?
I see the signs A tyrant on the rise
Will you stand free? Will you defy?
I see the signs A tyrant on the rise
Will you fall to your knees? Will you stand and fight?
To the mouth of hell The phalanx will deny
Tell your king these men are free With honor we shall die
With eyes black as night The Immortals arrive
Behind the wall of Persian dead The Spartans did deny
Wave after wave
Bloodlust in our eyes We’ve been betrayed
We’ve been outflanked We dine in hell tonight
No surrender, no retreat This is the Spartan way
I’d rather die on my feet Than grovel on my knees
