At dawn, envoy arrives
Morning of October 28th
No-day proven by deed
Descendants of Sparta,
Athens, and CreteLook north, ready to fight
Enemies charge from the hills
To arms facing??? defeat
There's no surrender, there's no retreatTime after time, force their enemies back to the line[Chorus]
Call to arms, banners fly in the wind,
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of Arms reading "Freedom or Death",
Blood of king Leonidas!]Air raid pounding the land
Bombers are flying both day and night
Endure 6 days of rain
Dropped by invaders bombraid in vain!Strike hard the tables have turned,
Drive them back over the hills
At arms just like before,
Soldiers, civilians, Hellas at warBy their own hand forced the enemy out of their land[Chorus]Just like their ancestors ages ago
Fought in the face of defeat
Those 300 men left a pride to uphold:
Freedom or Death in effectThen, now again
Blood of heroes saving their land
