Conquered crowns on severed brows

You rattle at my door

Far from home and Persian throne

So mind your mouth and more

Earth my flesh and water blood

You'll not receive my spit

Talk no more your treason tongue

Prepare to taste the pit

This is the shield, this is the spear

This is Sparta, Hell is near

Never falter, never fear

This is madness

We are the sword, we are the spear

We are Sparta and know no fear

This is our blood, and these are our bones

Die on your shield or Hell is your home

Hot the gates, where Hell awaits

Pile the Persians high

Razor rain the sun to tame

Blotting out the sky

No surrender, no retreat

No prisoners or pain

No remorse and no regrets

No wounded to remain

This is the shield, this is the spear

This is Sparta, Hell is near

Never falter, never fear

This is madness

We are the sword, we are the spear

We are Sparta and know no fear

This is our blood, and these are our bones

Die on your shield or Hell is your home

Eyes as bright and black as night

Filed fang and nail

Immortal flesh to stand the test

Namesake soon to fail

Nation after nation fall

Thigh to neck we stand

Freedom isn't free at all

Its cost is man for man

Here by Spartan law we lay

Tell our story well

Prepare yourselves for glory boys

Tonight we dine in Hell

This is the shield, this is the spear

This is Sparta, Hell is near

Never falter, never fear

This is madness

We are the sword, we are the spear

We are Sparta and know no fear

This is our blood, and these are our bones

Die on your shield or Hell is your home
