This Is Madness - Taking Dawn

Conquered crowns on severed brows you rattle at my door

Far from home and Persian throne so mind you mouth and more

Earth my flesh and water blood, you’ll not receive my spit

Talk no more your treason tongue, prepare to taste the pit

This is the shield

This is the spear

This is Sparta

Hell is near

Never falter, never fear

This is madness

We are the sword

We are the spear

We are Sparta

Know no fear

This is our blood

And these are our bones

So die on your shields for hell is your home

Hot the gates where hell awaits, pile the Persians high

Razor rain the sun to tame, blotting out the sky

No Surrender, no retreat, no prisoners or pain

No remorse and no regret, no wounded to remain

This is the shield

This is the spear

This is Sparta

Hell is near

Never falter, never fear

This is madness

We are the sword

We are the spear

We are Sparta

Know no fear

This is our blood

And these are our bones

So die on your shields for hell is your home

Eyes as bright as blackest night

Filed fang and nail

Immortal flesh to stand the test

Namesake soon to fail

Nation after nation fall, thigh to neck we stand

Freedom isn’t free at all, its cost is man for man

Here by Spartan law we lay

Tell out story well

Prepare yourselves for glory boys

Tonight we dine in hell

This is the shield

This is the spear

This is Sparta

Hell is near

Never falter, never fear

This is madness

We are the sword

We are the spear

We are Sparta

Know no fear

This is our blood

And these are our bones

So die on your shields for hell is your home
