Silence fell across the oceans

Ships from Persia touched the shores

Burnt and plundered Eretrian lands

Heading now for the northern coast

Summon the men, inform our allies, lead the city-states to war

Time has come for the citizens' vote show of hands in the assembly's floor

No more talk and indecision, time to march the phalanx forth

No turning back, as the city has voted for war

War on our shore

Hope in the sword

This war scares us all

Call for the phalanx to reach the shore

Now again marching to the end, tired, sore and outnumbered

Nine thousand men, fight to the death, fight to the bitter end

Evil spread across the land

Sparta failed to march for war

Cowardice has stained her city

Alone we'll face the barbarian foe

Get the shields and shining armor, let the goddess guide our sword

Let the pain feed our anger, lead the men to a merciless war

Leave behind our city and home, let Miltiades engage the foe

No turning back, as the city has voted for war

War on our shore

Hope in the sword

This war scares us all

Call for the phalanx to reach the shore

Now again marching to the end, tired, sore and outnumbered

Nine thousand men, fight to the death, fight to the bitter end

Goddess, we'll fight forevermore

March to the other world

Into the the darkness and death

Goddess, we'll fight forevermore

March to the other world

Into the shadows of death

Goddess, is your desire to forfeit your might?

Goddess, shed your light for us

For we pledge to fight

Hades open wide the doors, phalanx marches to the shore

Carry on forevermore, fight 'till the battle's won

Write the story of the sword, crush their will to carry on

Scatter bodies on the shore, blood, legions, battles, war
