The Spartan

Many have sung

about the Gates of Fire

About the narrow way

which leads to Hell

Guarded by the men

who never tire

Three hundred braves

who laughed before they fell

They were led by a strong

and restless soldier

At his peak

he would give his life away

Running side by side

his men would follow

A deadly wall of bone

that would remain

"Hear me, my respected brothers;

Take as many with you as you can!

Let the whole world remember:

We took our sacred oaths

and never ran"

Reaching higher every day

The soil that covers our graves

Still remembering the pain

We died protecting our way
