Sabaton: Sparta
THIS IS SPARTA! Another Sabaton Music video, this time it's about the Battle of Thermopylae, where 300 Spartans and 7,000 Greek allies stood against the massive armies of Persia and ascended into history.
Footage is from one of my favourite films of all time, 300.
Lyrics:
Many many years ago, when Persia came ashore
Heeding Leonidas call, The Spartans went to war
Joined by their brothers, a few against the fateful horde
Hellenic hearts are set aflame, the hot gates calls their name
A final stand, stop the Persians, spear in hand
Form a wall, live to fall, and live forever
SPARTA! HELLAS!
Then, and again. Sing of three hundred men
SLAUGHTER! PERSIANS!
Glory and death, Spartans will never surrender
Morning has broken, today they’re fighting in the shade
When arrows blocked the sun they fell, tonight they dine in hell
By traitors hand, secret passage, to their land
Know his name, know his shame will last forever
