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 and know no fear
This is our blood, and these are our bones
Die on your shield or [bad word] is your home

Hoo-ah, Hoo-ah
Hoo-ah, Hoo-ah, Hoo-ah, Hoo-ah

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 regrets
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, and know no fear
This is our blood, and these are our bones
Die on your shield or [bad word] is your home

Hoo-ah, Hoo-ah
Hoo-ah, Hoo-ah, Hoo-ah, Hoo-ah

[solo]

Eyes as bright and black as 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
Its 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, and know no fear
This is our blood, and these are our bones
Die on your shield or [bad word] is your home
