Leonidas Lyrics by Scorcher

Armageddon From The Sky

2012

The tale was told years ago
Sparta will burn or the king must fall
From the deep east a barbarian king
Gathered his army horror to bring

A messenger came from the dark plains of Persia
"Earth and water" he states his demand
The answer came quick with the flash of the blade
He suffered a cutthroat from the kings' shining blade

[Pre-Chorus:]
Now he's alone with a strong heart
He gathered three hundred to hold the attack

[Chorus:]
Leonidas the brave king
Raised in battle death will bring
Chose to stay and face the death
Lakedaimon 'till his final breath


Now they're standing at the gates of fire
Three hundred men with blood desire
Ready to die and make a stand
No one shall pass through the gates of hell

A thousand bodies lie on the ground
The Spartans' payback to the Persian pride
The sky turned black from the incoming arrows
They're fighting as one 'till the morning hours

[Pre-Chorus:]
They are outnumbered but fear they don't feel
A war-machine roaring for thunder and steel

[Chorus:]
Leonidas the brave king
Raised in battle death will bring
Chose to stay and face the death
Lakedaimon 'till hia final breath

"Ω ξειν αγγέλειν λακεδαιμονίοις οτι τήδε κείμεθα τις κοίνων ρήμασι πειθόμενοι"

[Solo]

In the seventh day a Greek betrayer
Leads the Persians to the Spartans' center
So the king will fall and Sparta will live
His name will last courage to give

His spirit flies to the elysian fields
The soldiers joined him upon their shields
They'll live forever inside our souls
Three hundred brave men 'till history falls

[Pre-Chorus:]
Now he's alone with a strong heart
A war-machine roaring to hold the attack

[Chorus:]
Leonidas the brave king
Raised in battle death will bring
Chose to stay and face the death
Lakedaimon 'till his final breath
