Verse 1:
In a shadowed land, a serpent's grin,
Ephialtes, where does your loyalty begin?
Your heart is cold, your soul betrayed,
For the promise of gold, your trust decayed.
Chorus:
300 stand against the tide,
In the face of death, they won't hide!
A unyielding force, a shield wall strong,
Betrayer's fate, you won't belong!
Verse 2:
Achaemenid might, a storm unleashed,
But Spartan valor shall not be ceased.
Fight for honor, fight for kin,
Through blood and pain, they'll always win.
Chorus:
300 stand against the tide,
In the face of death, they won't hide!
A unyielding force, a shield wall strong,
Betrayer's fate, you won't belong!
Bridge:
Ephialtes, whispers of gold,
Your treachery turns heroes into the bold.
With vengeance carved in the hearts of men,
We’ll rise once more, break the chain again!
Outro:
Screams of battle, hear them rise,
Your fate sealed, beneath the skies!
Betrayal burns in the fires of war,
But the Spartan spirit lives evermore!
