1. The Coming Storm

(инструментал)

2. The Immortal One

I have come set
the earth on fire
I bring devastation
and destruction
Armies will clash and
men will slaughtered
Once again
Hades' gates shall open

I'm on the side of those
who fight without fear
When mankind calls
my name death is so near
I am the warrior's prayer,
the blood on his sword
I am the immortal one,
the God of War

Son of Zeus, we praise
your sacred name
Give us the strength
to surmount our pain
Lead us into battle,
give us courage
We'll take revenge
for our fallen comrades

I am the one who shaped
your destinies and
taught you the art of war
Ecstasy, madness,
lust for blood

Flesh is my bread and
blood is my wine
Towns will burn and
countless men will die
For your never ending
thirst for blood
Lords of war
you are my chosen ones

For ever and ever
I'll reign on the earth!

3. Tides Of War

Ten years ago,
heralds arrived from Persia
They asked for earth and
water, the tokens of submission
A long journey in vain, because
they should know our answer
That we Greeks place freedom
above our lives

Sons of war, warrior's sons,
the hour has come
Call to arms, from the north,
comes the storm

The new king and
his army are here again
For a war of reprisal
and revenge
Men will die,
rivers of blood will flow
Gods unleash
the eternal tides of war

A clash between
freedom and slavery
We'll stand against the king,
we'll fight his tyranny
A threat for our culture,
for our way of life

Even when outnumbered
we'll fight with all our might

The fate of dark death
will fall on us
We'll die foe a higher cause,
a message we will send
Of pride and defiance,
freedom's worth dying for

4. Defenders (Valour Is In Our Blood)

The council of war
has made a decision
The gates of Thermopylae
is where we will fight
We'll draw our defence line
at this narrow pass
While the Athenian fleet
will face them at sea

Thespians! Tageans!
Locrians! Arcadians!
Phocians! Mantineans!
Thebans! Corinthians!

We'll make a stand
we'll defend the pass
We'll fulfill our duty
to win or die
We'll make a stand,
we'll defend the pass
Thoughness boldness,
Valour is in our blood

300 of us,
who leave sons behind
With our support troops
and other allies
We march out knowing
there is no return
Shoulder to shoulder,
we'll fight to the death

5. Gates Of Fire

Glory and honour must be
earned by spear and sword
This is what they taught us
since the day we were born
Campaigns fought and
comrades lost, victories
paid with the blood
And the lives of our beloved
brothers in arms

For once again
we march to war
No fear of pain,
no fear of death
We'll not disgrace
these sacred arms
We'll not disgrace
our city and king
We'll never surrender
not retreat!

For the glory of Sparta
we will fight
For freedom
we'll sacrifice our lives
At the gates of fire
we will stand!
At the gates of fire
we will die!

We live to fight, to obey
the Laws this is our way of life
A glorious death is what
we seek, we dream
of him at night
Our round shields,
made of wood, covered
with greek bronze
Will protect our comrades
to the left until we'll fall

6. Never To Return

A last cup of wine
a final embrace
In the shades of Parnon
yet it's not daybreak
In tearless silence
they watch us go
The pain of their hearts
only the Gods know

Mothers and sisters,
daughter and wives
How many times
have you stood here?
Watching those you love
marching out to war
Departing to their deaths,
never to return

Nothing a good in life
comes without a price
And we have learned
to breathe the air of liberty
Freedom we have chosen
and now we'll fight for it
What our fathers did,
we can do no less

These were the last
words of farewell
Come back with your shield
or come back on it

7. The Final March

8. Spartan Killing Machine

So here it stands again,
the Spartan Force
A wall of bronze and
iron, phalanx of death
An iron-bladed forest
of thousands spears
Rises high and solid
as a spike fence

Spartan fighting machine
Spartan killing machine
Spartan fighting machine
Spartan killing machine

The hearts i the enemies
hammer in their breasts
Their blood is cold as ice,
fear dwells in their eyes
As we accelerate
the pace of advance
Their shouts of threat and
anger will be their last

Merciless warriors
advance in battle line
A perfect war machine,
a brotherhood of arms
We will never retreat,
we'll sacrifice ourselves
For Spartans it's not dying
but fleeing that is death

9. Path To Glory

Brothers the hour to defend
our homeland has come
For Sparta and Greece
we will spill our blood

No turning back,
this battle we can't avoid
One king will die for Sparta
will be destroyed

We enter the realm
of our God of War
The last shades of fear
abandon pur souls
Obey our Laws
to die or prevail
Fight as you lived
I know you won't fail

I only trust the men
by my side
The men who will bleed
for me in the fight
brothers tonight in
Hades we'll dine
for glory, for honour,
for Sparta we will die

The Persians want to
send us to Hell
But they don't know
we are already the Styx,
a river of blood
We are the Hades,
we are home now

The Battle Of Thermopylae

"Go tell the Spartans,
stranger passing by,
that here obedient
to their laws, we lie"
(Simonides)

In 480, before Christ's birth
The Persian empire was
the greatest on earth
The army and navy
of Xerxes the first
Began their invasion
to conquer Greece

300 Spartans and 7000 allies
Marched out to Thermopylae,
a narrow mountain pass
Their mission was to delay
the Persian advance
To encourage the Greeks,
to keep morale high

13 years they were schooled
in the Spartan art of war
in the phalanx formation,
thousands fighting as one

The Persians draw their bows,
arrows blot out the sun
Our battle hymns sound loud,
the slaughter has begun
Their infantry attacks,
but they don't have a chance
Against our heavy shields,
against our mighty spears

Xerxes from above,
sitting on his throne
He sends more men to fight,
he sees his immortals fall
Bodies lay down dead with
cut throats, smashed heads
Their last gaze at the sky,
the fear's still in their eyes
The blood has reached
our knees, two days
we'll kill and die
The third day will be the last,
a traitor's by our side
The allies have been dismissed,
their duty they have done
But soon they'll get the chance
to fight Xerxes again

The flesh is the source
the source of all fear
But this flesh is not ours,
it belongs to the Gods
And I hail them for this,
'cause my mind is now clear
Stronger than pain and fear
Now I'll fight to the death

And when their swords broke
they fought with hands
and teeth
Side by side with
their comrades
they died as they wished

The battle is lost now,
but their sacrifice's great
Their death will be honoured till
eternity ends... till eternity ends

They knew that
this was their final fight,
this was their certain end
But in their hearts and
in their minds, they tamed
the fear of death
With courage and with
bravery, they made
their last stand
With blood they wrote
their history, for glory
they have died
