This is madness

Conquered crowns on severed brows you rattle at my door
Far from home and Persian throne so mind your mouth and more
Earth my flesh and water blood, you'll not receive my spit
Talk no more your treason tongue, prepare to taste the pit

This is the shield
This is the spear
This is Sparta
Hell is near
Never falter, never fear
This is madness

We are the sword
We are the spear
We are Sparta
Know no fear
This is our blood
And these are our bones
So die on your shield for hell is your home

Hot the gates where hell awaits, pile the Persian high
Razor rain the sun to tame, blotting out the sky
No surrender, no retreat, no prisoners or pain
No remorse and no regret, no wounded to remain This is the shield
This is the spear
This is Sparta
Hell is near
Never falter, never fear
This is madness

We are the sword
We are the spear
We are Sparta
Know no fear
This is our blood
And these are our bones
So die on your shield for hell is your home

Eyes as bright as blackest night
Filed fang and nail
Immortal flesh to stand the test
Namesake soon to fail
Nation after nation fall, thigh to neck we stand
Freedom isn't free at all, it's cost is man for man

Here by Spartan law we lay
Tell our story well
Prepare yourselves for glory boys
Tonight we dine in hell

This is the shield
This is the spear
This is Sparta
Hell is near
Never falter, never fear
This is madness

We are the sword
We are the spear
We are Sparta
Know no fear
This is our blood
And these are our bones
So die on your shield for hell is your home
