[intro]
In the pass
Where kings stood fast
Oh Thermopylae
We cannot abandon thee
Raise your shields
Raise your spears
Not one man well pass through here
[Verse]
Beneath the shadow of the mountain tall
They stood like lions
Unbroken
Small
Spears raised high
Shields locked tight
A wall of men against the endless night
[Prechorus]
The winds howled loud
The earth did shake
Yet none would yield
None would break
[Chorus]
Three hundred strong
They made their stand
Against the tide
Against the sand
King Leonidas
With fire in his eyes
Said
"Spartans
Tonight we dine where heroes rise"
[Verse 2]
The arrows fell like a blackened storm
The sun eclipsed
The day deformed
But their laughter roared
Their courage burned
Each thrust of the spear
The tide they turned
[Prechorus]
With every breath
They carved their name
In blood and stone
Eternal flame
[Chorus]
Three hundred strong
They held the gate
Against the horde
Against their fate
King Leonidas
His voice a cry
"Spartans
Today we teach them how to die"
[outro]
For if we fall
Let glory sing our names
We’ll raise the banners
And fan the flames
Oh yes! Leonidas if we fall
Let us dine at the halls of hell
