Sabaton - Sparta Lyrics

To those saying things like the spartans would of won if not for Ephialtes, you are missing the point of the battle. Leonidas was aware he was marching into a battle he could not win. The entire goal of the battle was to hold the persians so the Greek states had time to mobilise their forces. And he succeeded in this regard, against all odds. The battle however, was a terrible defeat. Heck, the real victory is the PR. Now, i am not disputing the bravery of these spartans, but it should be noted: This was a crushing defeat. It was always going to be a crushing defeat. Whilst the Spartans could of held out for longer had Ephialtes not shown the persians the pass, we are talking days. Which, once again, is impressive. Further more, there was more than 300 spartans. People estimate there was about 7000 greeks here. Which, still a comparatively small number.

Point being, to say the spartans had any hope, or even entertained any hope for victory here is doing them a great disservice. They went there knowing they were going to die. Thats bravery.

Molon labe

Loving the song, as I do all things Sabaton, but shouldn't they have bronze in hand rather than steel?

Whatever you think of the Spartans they were what they were and they did not deny it.

When ur boss goes were doing 10hrs SPARTA HELLES

Listening to this while writing my essay... on Sparta

If I'm not mistaken the Spartans had like little to no fear in war which is what made them a powerhouse of pure bloodshed

This song makes me want to aggressively row a canoe across a lake to the beat of the HOO HAH HOO HAH HOO HAH

Molon labe

θαυμαζοντας τους πολιτισμους του κοσμου που θαυμαζουν τον ελληνικο

THIS IS SPARTA

fun fact: Spartan training was so intense that actual war seemed child play to them

Just finding these guys, do they just make music about hardcore men?

Wait... Sabaton has a sing about sparta? Holy shit...

*Persians left the chat*

Hellas is the name of Greece. The name Greece comes from the greek word 'Γραικός' graikos, which the Romans took and made it into to Greece eventually. But Graikos is older and then they changed it into Hellas and the Greeks are callen Hellenes. Awesome song by the way but let us not forget the Thespians (who also died) the Thebans(some surrendered) and some other Greeks from other parts as well who fought with the 300.
Can't wait to see the live this summer in Athens!!

Whrite a new song from now for future Greece that will destroy Erdogans facist Turkey

U.s government: listen we need you to hand over your firearms so we can embrace totalitarianism

Me and the boys who have been waiting patiently for the great boogaloo: 0:27

Someone: * cheats at exam *
Teacher: 2:29

THIS IS MADNESS
MADNESS
THIS IS SPARTA!!!!

*_Form a wall_*
*_Live to fall_*
*_And live forever_*

why does this song go so hard man

In 2020 America should have its own version of this song.

Greece was always the one that kept asians in general from invading europe
First with Persia and then the ottomans

Honestly I just feel like the beginning was kinda sus but the singing was great

Go tell the spartans passerby that here obedient to their laws we lie

Omw to iran playing this

Hey Mate what about Arcadia and Athens and allop of Hellas?
Yes them too... Then soon the World...

300 is a historical lie. Pre-Islamic Persia will rise again and the world will see Cyrus II

yeah just no , Persians will never rise again

Back when Europe had a border patrol

Me in Iran

Fun fact the sacrifice of Leonidas and his 300 is stil the record holder of bravest stand ever

Time for my workout! The journey of becoming a Spartan is at hand

why do i c ROMANS

You dont

No matter how many times hear the song . when it comes SLAUGHTER , PERSIANS . lost voice

Me and the boys rolling WW3 like:

The hot gates calls there name, tonight they dine in hell

Teacher: We will have an exchange student from Iran in our class this week!
Girls: Oh, i hope he is handsome!
Boys:

Wouldn't it make sense if he was from Greece? (If it's still called greece. I don't pay attention to geography anymore)

@Grant Mackey Iran used to be the persian empire

When shall a song be written for the glory of rome???

Heared this song now for the first time.... (mae culpa yeah i know its 2019 ;) ) but instant goose bumps or like we here in Germany would say.... Gänsehaut pur

Bassicaly the Spartans were killing people from the same place some of their ancestors came from cause the Persians spread throughout Europe and combined theire cultures with the natives but wiped out the entirety of the original natives of Britain who built Stonehenge without meaning too with deceases they brought with them like the Europeans did in the americas but fortunately the natives there weren’t completely wiped out

Me n the boys playing halo after 6 years

What is thé music in thé end ?

In my thought during the italo-greek war the greeks had the spirit of 2 gods of war and king Leonidas

This song could put chest hair on a baby

*This needs to be added as the final credits music in 300*
Make it happen

my bench press pr music

la vera storia dei balcani di grecia non e cosi facile da determinare,chi erano gli veri grecci,chi sono i grecci,perche si chiama penisola balcanica ,fino s 1870 si chiamava penisola ilirica,chi sono gli iliri chi sono gli epiriotes ,chi sono gli grecci ,quale la veria storia della antichita greca,tutti gli scienciati gli studiosi ,politichi lo sano la verita ,quando princ otto della germania e arrivato in greccia in 1815 ,e andato in atene in quello epoca tutto atene parlavo arvanites albanese , che una sola risposta noi siamo la veria storia della antichita gli albanesi di oggi la nostra lingua anno parlato tutti i dei ,anche i suo nomi derivano della nostra lingua zeus ,afrodite ,atena,era,apollonio,poseidon ,etc,,exempi afrodite si chiama mia mamma in lingua albanese significa arriva afro,giorno dita ,quindi fa afrodite🇦🇱🇦🇱,we are the only greeks ,the true storie 🇦🇱🇦🇱 greeks are albanian ,

2 and a half millennia have passed, and the Persians are still invading, except neither Hellenistic nor Romans are there to fight

Don't know why whenever I am about to quit at something I listen to this masterpiece and I get it done. Amazing song👍

Defend Europe

1461 persians hate this song because is this time he's will humiliated

why isn't there more spartan music like this? this fits the 300 theme very well...best spartan song ever

We shall fight in the shade.

Magnifique

You know it's Sabaton when the Comment Section both as funny and as epic as the Song itself

Respect to SABATON from The Greek in Canada

Stab by a spear*
*wakes up in a carriage*
*a man once said to me*
You're finally awake
Trying to cross the border right? Same as us and that thief over there

When you bully terrorists online and they come to your house, and you blast this song while fighting them with your kopesh

basically europe 50 years into the future....dont let migrants or refugees in your country....come on germany, you have experience with gas , so use it!!!!

Oh hey! Its annoying Greek dude here! I found mistakes!

1# Spartans had Square sheilds (opening)
2# it was 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians in the battle the song is refering to, Thermopylae
3# Term "Hellas" was rarely used, since at that time Greece wasnt a unified empire or kingdom, but many independant cities, often waging war against each other, though had many common intrests

yes i will be that kind of guy.

thermopylae enomotia...!!!

I see you are a man of chaldea as well

@Gabriel Ignacio yeah are you a FGO player

@riski rahmadhani Ye

Better depiction of Iranians than the movie 300



wait

AOO AOO AOO AOO!

This makes me want to play dark souls with a guitar hero controller BLINDFOLDED.

My mom says Sabaton sounds cheesy. Yet all she listens to is the homogenized trash on the radio

Thos gonna be me in basic training and infantry

I have a spartan mindset glory in dying in battle thats how i wanna go

Música de cabra macho com 300% de testosterona

If you replaced the “ooh ah” with the voice of a Japanese girl you get a completely different song

After 2000 years and some wise words of Socrates via his students and fans, it seems that our civilization is up to the Spartan ethos to defend it. Barbarians care not about our dialectic reasoning or the concept of rights, except to turn them against us. Sparta!! Thedas!! Banzai!! ;)

They should do a song about the one group in history that absolutely kicked the Spartan’s ass, the Gauls

Whats that story? Google seems to be hiding it from me

Whats that story? Google seems to be hiding it from me

Spartans never retreat, Spartans never surrender

“Just there the barbarians huddle, sheer terror gripping tight their hearts with icy fingers, knowing full well what merciless horrors they suffered at the swords and spears of the Three Hundred. Yet they stare now across the plain at ten thousand Spartans commanding thirty thousand free Greeks! The enemy outnumber us a paltry three to one: good odds for any Greek!”

Persians: alright so a couple Spartan’s are holding the path at Thermopile, ha! This will be...why am I hearing boss music?
