We ARE Sparta

Lyrics

Verse 1
Sand in the teeth
Blood on the shield
We learned the cost
On that hard field
No crown, no mercy
Just iron and breath
Stand in the line
Or earn your death

Pre-Chorus
Hear the drums call
One step, then more
Shoulder to shoulder
We hold this war
If I fall first
You drag me through
If you fall first
I will carry you

Chorus
We are Sparta
We do not break
We are Sparta
For honor's sake
Stand, stand, stand
Until the end
Stand, stand, stand
My brother, friend

Verse 2
The spear gets heavy
The night gets long
The wounded march
But the vow stays strong
I buried fear
In the dust below
And fed my name
To the ones I know

Pre-Chorus
Hear the drums call
One step, then more
Shoulder to shoulder
We hold this war
If I fall first
You drag me through
If you fall first
I will carry you

Chorus
We are Sparta
We do not break
We are Sparta
For honor's sake
Stand, stand, stand
Until the end
Stand, stand, stand
My brother, friend

Bridge
Let the sky crack
Let the earth shake
We were not made
To beg or break
Death can come
With a blackened blade
But our names live on
In the path we made

Final Chorus
We are Sparta
We do not break
We are Sparta
For honor's sake
Stand, stand, stand
Until the end
Stand, stand, stand
My brother, friend
We are Sparta
Take all you can
We are Sparta
Still standing, man
