Silence fell across the oceans
Ships from Persia touched the shores
Burnt and plundered Eretrian lands
Heading now for the northern coast
Summon the men, inform our allies, lead the city-states to war
Time has come for the citizens' vote show of hands in the a**embly's floor
No more talk and indecision, time to march the phalanx forth
No turning back, as the city has voted for war
War on our shore
Hope in the sword
This war scares us all
Call for the phalanx to reach the shore
Now again marching to the end, tired, sore and outnumbered
Nine thousand men, fight to the d**h, fight to the bitter end
Evil spread across the land
Sparta failed to march for war
Cowardice has stained her city
Alone we'll face the barbarian foe
Get the shields and shining armor, let the goddess guide our sword
Let the pain feed our anger, lead the men to a merciless war
Leave behind our city and home, let Miltiades engage the foe
No turning back, as the city has voted for war
War on our shore
Hope in the sword
This war scares us all
Call for the phalanx to reach the shore
Now again marching to the end, tired, sore and outnumbered
Nine thousand men, fight to the d**h, fight to the bitter end
Goddess, we'll fight forevermore
March to the other world
Into the the darkness and d**h
Goddess, we'll fight forevermore
March to the other world
Into the shadows of d**h
Goddess, is your desire to forfeit your might?
Goddess, shed your light for us
For we pledge to fight
Hades open wide the doors, phalanx marches to the shore
Carry on forevermore, fight 'till the battle's won
Write the story of the sword, crush their will to carry on
Scatter bodies on the shore, blood, legions, battles, war
