Dragony – Sparta (Elegy of Heroes) Lyrics
Artist: Dragony
Song: Sparta (Elegy of Heroes)

They told them forces would be rising from the east
Striking fear into their hearts as from the wild sea rose the beast
Just three hundred Spartans, as they met them side by side
When arrows flew to cloak the sun, they stemmed the Persian tide
Lead our way, Leonidas
Give us strength and unite us
On these rocks the tide will break
And no one weep at our wake!
Tell thеm you saw us ride
To the gates of our dеstiny
Tell them we fought and died
For our land and our liberty
And then tell them, you saw us lie
On the ground as their law commands
Here they fought immortals and a man-god at these portals
On their shields and armour clashed swords and arrows, bodies gashed
And the phalanx held and would not
Break as Xerxes’ pillar dared to quake
With the dawn a red sun rose, a lion’s wrath, a feast for crows…
