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
Die on your shield for hell is your home

Hot the gates where hell awaits, pile the Persians 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
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
Die on your shield for hell is your home
