Heavy Metal from Sparta

Spartan warrior spirit.

The warrior stood on the hill,
he took a deep breath,
he thought of his training,
he was ready to test his skill

With your shield or on it!
Thats what the women shouted,
when he went to war! (when he went to war!)

With your shield or on it!
Thats what the women shouted,
when he went to war! (when he went to war!)
He saw the enemy coming closer,
down in the valley,
an army of barbarian slaves,
whipped forward by their masters.

He and his spartan brothers,
will give them a fight like they've never seen before!

They were trained to fight as a unit,
shielding the brother to their left with their hoplon,
while the brother to their right will be shielding them,
and everyone of them knew there was just victory,
or a glorious death on the battlefield!

With your shield or on it,
with your shield or on it.
Otherwise dont dare to come back to Sparta! (This is sparta!)
All that mattered now was to prove themselfes worthy,
in the eyes of ares! (Ares the god of war!)
And even if outnumbered,
the chance of victory was high. (This is Sparta!)
Fight for the continued existence of your people and their way of life.

With your shield or on it!

with your shield or on it,
otherwise dont dare to come home to Sparta.

Ο μάντης έχει διαβάσει στα σπλάχνα του θυσιασμένου ζώου ότι οι Σπαρτιάτες πολεμιστές θα νικήσουν σήμερα.
Τα εδάφη μας και οι λαοί μας θα σωθούν από την υποδούλωση ή τον ολοκληρωτικό αφανισμό.
Η μνήμη των θεών και του πολιτισμού μας θα εξασφαλιστεί με αυτή τη νίκη για την αιωνιότητα!
translation: The seer has read in the entrails of the sacrificed animal that the Spartan warriors will be victorious today.
Our lands and our peoples will be saved from enslavement or total annihilation.
The memory of our gods and civilization will be secured with this victory for eternity!
