300 Spartans Lyrics

As the sun rose high above the land, Three hundred Spartans prepared to die For Mother Europe and her sons against Xerxes Persian hordes At Thermopylae pass they made their stand, Defending their ancient Greek homeland As their countrymen feared the Persian invasion, The Spartans pledged to be their salvation Three hundred, Spartans stared death in the face Three hundred, Spartans fought tooth and nail We proudly hail! The strongest and the bravest men in the land, Of pure Hellenic blood refused to mix Raised to be soldiers living for the fight, The foe was known to tremble at their sight They asked not how many there were, Only where they could be found No fear of death, no thought of surrender They lived for the battle and constant danger Three hundred, Spartans stared death in the face Three hundred, Spartans fought tooth and nail We proudly hail! Through wave after wave of attack, they stood their ground And even surrounded their courage remained A warrior spirit these Spartans did evoke Still today in legend they are spoke Their deaths avenged by the Spartans as plateau The memory lives on throughout our battles Three hundred, Spartans stared death in the face Three hundred, Spartans fought tooth and nail Three hundred, in defense of our race Three hundred Spartans, we proudly hail!
