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

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

Chorus

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?

**Battle/guitar solo

Come and take it!

Bring it on!

In defiance of your tyranny

Sparta will stand strong

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

Chorus

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?

Come and take it!

Bring it on!

In defiance of your tyranny

Sparta will stand strong
