King Leonidas Part II

Lyrics

Verse 1

Years have passed since Thermopylae
Yet every shield still bears his name
The Sons of the Wolf still march as one
Guarding his eternal flame

His body fell beneath the spear
But courage never met its end
For every son who raised a shield
Became his brother once again

Pre-Chorus

A king may fall...
A throne may fade...
But some names...
Can never be buried.

Chorus

King Leonidas!
Father of the brave
Your blood still runs
In every shield we raise

King Leonidas!
Hear our battle cry!
The Sons of the Wolf
Will never let your legend die

Verse 2

We crossed the mountains, crossed the seas
From Sparta's stones to Egypt's sands
Every empire knows the banner
Carried by determined hands

They ask us where our strength was forged
We point toward the Hot Gates' flame
Where three hundred chose forever
Over living without a name

Pre-Chorus

We are the sons...
Of those who stood...
And never...
Turned away.

Chorus

King Leonidas!
Your oath became our own
Though generations separate us
Your spirit leads us home

King Leonidas!
Through thunder and through fire
The Wolf still walks
With every Spartan warrior

Bridge

We are not worthy...

Because we carry your name.

We are worthy...

Only if we carry your courage.

So when our children ask...

"Who was Leonidas?"

We'll simply raise our shields...

And answer...

"This."

Final Chorus

King Leonidas!
The ages still proclaim
No empire built by mortal hands
Could ever steal your fame

King Leonidas!
Your banner leads us still
The Sons of the Wolf
Will climb the highest hill

For Sparta!
For Greece!
For every brother standing near!

King Leonidas...

We are still here.

Outro

Legends die...

But fathers...

Live forever.
