Thermopylae |
| 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 |
