Glory and death, Spartans will never surrender! ♪ Morning has broken Today they're fighting in the shade When arrows blocked the sun, they fell Tonight they dine in Hell By traitor's hand Secret passage to their land Know his name Know his shame will last forever Sparta! Hellas! Then, and again, sing of three hundred men! Slaughter! Persians! Glory and death, Spartans will never surrender! ♪ Sparta! Hellas! Then, and again, sing of three hundred men! Slaughter! Persians! Glory and death, Spartans will never surrender!
