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! [bad word] 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 [bad word] is your home 

Hot the gates where [bad word] 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! [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word]  

This is the shield, this is the spear, this is Sparta! [bad word] 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 [bad word] is your home
