Ancient Rites - Thermopylae Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Sons of Laconia, under Lycurgian law
  • 300 noblemen, ancient world in awe
  • Facing Xerxes might, no hope for victory
  • Still Persian blood coloured the Aegian Sea
  • Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
  • That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.
  • Lacedaemon's mothers gave birth to men,
  • Withstanding thousends again and again
  • None will behold the Eurotas Valley no more
  • This sacrifice needed to silence Persia's roar
  • No matter how fierce the spirit or mind
  • Blades striking, the kings' heart declined
  • Round he spun, and down he fell
  • No scream, no word, no cowardice yell
  • Symbolic sacrifice, all for the Hellenic land
  • Spartan codes of honour and inspiring guiding hand
  • No Spartiate soul left alive to tell
  • How bravely they fought, by treason they fell
  • Not a stone on their turf, nor a bone in their graves
  • They live on in history that immortally saves
  • Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
  • That here, obedient to their laws, we lie
