Lyrics:

[Instrumental bridge]

[Verse 1]

In ancient lands of Sparta,
Where warriors were forged in fire,
There rose a king named Leonidas,
Whose courage none could tire.
Against the tide of Persia,
Xerxes' endless might,
He stood at Thermopylae,
To face the coming fight.

[Chorus]

With hearts of steel and spirits high,
Three hundred men prepared to die.
Oh, Leonidas, Spartan king,
Your name through time will always ring,
Against the dark, against the night,
You held the Hot Gates with all your might.
Oh, Leonidas, brave and bold,
Your story forever told.

[Instrumental interlude]

[Verse 2]

"Lay down your weapons," Xerxes roared,
"Come and take them," the king's reply was short.
With shields and spears at ready,
They formed a wall of steel,
Against the Persian legions,
The Greeks' defiance made real.

[Chorus]

With hearts of steel and spirits high,
Three hundred men prepared to die.
Oh, Leonidas, Spartan king,
Your name through time will always ring,
Against the dark, against the night,
You held the Hot Gates with all your might.
Oh, Leonidas, brave and bold,
Your story forever told.

[Verse 2 (repeat)]

"Lay down your weapons," Xerxes roared,
"Come and take them," the king's reply was short.
With shields and spears at ready,
They formed a wall of steel,
Against the Persian legions,
The Greeks' defiance made real.

[Chorus]

With hearts of steel and spirits high,
Three hundred men prepared to die.
Oh, Leonidas, Spartan king,
Your name through time will always ring,
Against the dark, against the night,
You held the Hot Gates with all your might.
Oh, Leonidas, brave and bold,
Your story forever told.

[Instrumental interlude]

[Bridge]

For days they fought in fiery clash,
Against a sea of foes,
Xerxes sent his Immortals in,
But they met with fatal blows.
The Greeks stood firm, their spears were sharp,
Their courage brightly shown,
But treachery soon sealed their fate,
And Hades claimed their own.

[Instrumental interlude]

[Verse 3]

Through dust and blood they battled on,
Their valor shining bright,
Defending Greece to the last breath,
Against the overwhelming might.
No retreat, no surrender, they stood strong,
Against many thousands, they held the front.
Leonidas cried out, his voice a bell,
"Tonight we dine in hell!"

[Chorus]

With hearts of steel and spirits high,
Three hundred men prepared to die.
Oh, Leonidas, Spartan king,
Your name through time will always ring,
Against the dark, against the night,
You held the Hot Gates with all your might.
Oh, Leonidas, brave and bold,
Your story forever told.

[Instrumental interlude]

[Outro]

Their legend lives, a tale of might,
Leonidas and his warriors' fight.
In every heart where courage lies,
The story of their sacrifice.
A handful of Spartans, without a fear,
They fought for honor, come what may.
Persian arrows cut through the air,
In glory and honor, at the end, they fell.
