Ode to Leonidas

„I, Leonidas,

Son of the lion

Keeper of the gates of fire

To all the noble souls of this land

If you spill your blood with me

I shall tend to your wounds

If you thirst from battle

Then I shall give you my cup

If you follow me

I shall lead you to Sparta

Under the stars of the gods themselves

Together we shall rid this world of the Persian beast

And to you, thy enemy of this land

I say: molon labe, molon labe…

Come and take it”

I’ll dominate you, and sacrifice too

My army will destroy your plans

No competition, or indecision

You’re coming to your end –

And my war’s begun

Those mortals can’t defend you

A suicide rendezvous

I’ll have you running like a child – away

It’s not so complicated

300 terminated

No choice to choose, you’re on my own.

Who’s gonna save you?

They know the consequences

Endure the pain

The blood they try to save

Will be only split in vain

No sleep – for Leonidas

Got to rise against Immortals and the

Kingdom of the East

No sleep – for Leonidas

From a deadlock to distraction

Will there be satisfaction when they’re gone?

Under the pass awaits you

Our flanks of pride and virtue

Your missile shadows will not bound this cause

Like us there are no others

A troop of warrior brothers

Even in battle we defend our dead

They know the consequences

Endure the pain

The blood they try to save

Will be only split in vain

No sleep – for Leonidas

Got to rise against Immortals and the

Kingdom of the East

No sleep – for Leonidas

From a deadlock to distraction

Will there be satisfaction when they’re gone?
