INVICTUS -Forgotten Heroes (700 Thespians)

There they stand, side by side They choose to bleed, full of pride Not bred for war, not born to fight But their light shines strong and bright They don't fear the Persian machine They keep fire and thunder within Beyond the crimson, beneath the black To a ripe old age they turn their back Forgottenheroes of the narrow pass Forgotten pride of a bloody past Fought as one at the hot gate Thespian heroes chose their fate Farmers, potters, traders, they dare Proud of the Greek blood they share Seven hundred lions on Thermopylae's plain Bound by no law, but honor's chain No one remembers their fall No one sang for the pride of them all Forgotten last stand of the past Glorious sacrifice in the dust Forgotten heroes of the narrow pass Forgotten pride of a bloody past Fought as one at the hot gates Thespian heroes chose their fates The Spartan king gives the order to flee To save themselves from the killing spree Surrounded and broken by the Persian horde They chose to perish by the arrow and the sword Under their black cloaks immortality lies On Kolonos Hill, where legends rise Forgottenheroes of the narrow pass Forgotten pride of a bloody past Fought as one at the hot gates Thespian heroes chose their fates Forgotten heroes of the narrow pass Forgotten pride of a bloody past Fought as one at the hot gates Thespian heroes chose their fates Thespian heroes chose their fate Thespian heroes chose their fate
