A call to arms, the battle roar Thunder in the sky Marching feet through howling winds Many doomed to die Warriors with shields and swords Lion in their heart Spartans on the road to hell Conflict about to start Standard raised proudly the quarry and the kill A test to find who the gods would slay Fortune watch over us, Ares not abandon us The ferryman awaits on this day Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees Better to die, than to live on your knees Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees Better to die, than to live on your knees In the fields, the armies stand Fear hangs in the air War drums beat, the brave hold true They go where none may dare Courage in adversity Challenger s await Rally to charge the blood oath sworn Knives in eyes of hate I have the malice and I have the might My will is strong Hail death or glory, valour be our story Songs of our deeds will live on Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees Better to die, than to live on your knees Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees Better to die, than to live on your knees Our armies mass At the pass of Thermopylae We must kill or be killed Blood spilled, no mercy Go tell the passer by That here to their laws we lie Though arrows darken the skies Be not afraid... We can fight in the shade! Ohh! Standard raised proudly the quarry and the kill A test to find who the gods would slay Fortune watch over us, Ares not abandon us The ferryman awaits on this day Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees Better to die, than to live on your knees Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees Better to die, than to live on your knees
