Lyrics
[Verse 1]
At dawn, envoy arrives
Morning of October 28th
No-day proven by deed
Descendants of Sparta, Athens, and Crete
Look north, ready to fight
Enemies charge from the hills
True arms facing defeat
There's no surrender, there's no retreat
[Verse 2]
Time after time, force their enemies back to the line
[Verse 3]
Call to arms, banners fly in the wind
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of Arms reading, "Freedom or Death"
Blood of King Leonidas
[Verse 4]
Air raid, pounding the land
Bombers are flying both day and night
Endure six days of rain
Dropped by invaders, bomb raid in vain
Strike hard, the tables have turned
Drive them back over the hills
At arms just like before
Soldiers, civilians, Hellas at war
[Verse 5]
By their own hand, forced the enemy out of their land
[Verse 6]
Call to arms, banners fly in the wind
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of Arms reading, "Freedom or Death"
Blood of King Leonidas
[Verse 7]
Just like their ancestors ages ago
Fought in the face of defeat
Those three hundred men left a pride to uphold
"Freedom or Death" in effect
[Verse 8]
Then, now again
Blood of heroes saving their land
[Verse 9]
Call to arms, banners fly in the wind
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of Arms reading, "Freedom or Death"
Blood of King Leonidas
Call to arms, banners fly in the wind
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of Arms reading, "Freedom or Death"
Blood of King Leonidas
