Gates of Fire - InnerWish

We are crossing the heartland

Deep inside in the realms of ancient Greece

A path that have walked 300 men and a brave warrior king

They fought for the future of the land

And with pride they served a higher cause

In a battlefield that was mend to be well known

Cause they have dared to raise their swords

Against two million men they fought

Death is waiting for those who tried

And even the Gods have cried

For the land for the king

Debt of honour to steel

They stood for the right

And till the last of them died

Cause the ground was painted red with their blood through the gates of fire

The story is being told so many times

But still is drifting in our minds

Those Sparta’s sons have hunted the fate of internal life

And when time comes you have got to know

There is a burning flame in us all

And march like them in the very path of glory

Long haired divine heroes came here to the gates of fire

To fight for their pride to stop the darkness over the light

300 against hundreds of thousands 3 days of horrible massacre

Faces transformed into death masks

Their eyes dreadful holes… and victory was so close

Then the betrayal

They left their broken bodies one by one on the battlefield obeying the law of

Sparta
