Rap de Leonidas (feat. Bastian Cortes)

Thousands of years ago, a warrior was born
With unbreakable pride

Everyone dreamed of being like him
So brave, confident, and reliable
Many heroes were born but never
Matched his enormous ability
He carried on his back
The admiration of humanity
And made everyone want to follow his will
Looking at the king's back, they felt secure
To go fight, give their lives, and reach glory
For the great
Sparta

But the threat arrived, they were suddenly surprised
The Persians would devour their beloved people
But the council objected
That there was a prohibition
And they couldn't fight at that moment
They couldn't go against the orders of the God
Who made clear the signing of the commandment
But if they didn't do something, the fierce
Enemy army would have them dead
But they didn't care, Apollo was in charge
Tradition had to be respected no matter what
Because no one did anything and just obeyed
What the oracle said without a fight
The fear of being singled out, hated, and criticized
Just for contradicting the majority
Was something this soldier had never experienced
Because his legacy is full of rebellion
And even if he must fight

Alone
If I must go
Alone
To face everyone
I will find a way
To get revenge on
Apollo
He will bite the mud
And on my sword, I will carry
The immortal fire of Sparta
No matter what everyone says

He thought
Differently from the rest
He wouldn't obey the laws that force
To follow a crude commandment
From a God who doesn't know
And he destroyed
The statue of the great deity with a fierce attack

And if this is my punishment
For not obeying Apollo
They won't complain if I face
The enemy on my own
Even the gods you challenged
Because you have such a thirst for blood
I would prefer to rest
And then take a nap
While I drink a sweet sip
And no one bothers me
But, even though I don't want to die yet, I'm a warrior
And I must give my life
For those I love the most
And even if I must fight

Alone
If I must go
Alone
To face everyone
I will find a way
To get revenge on
Apollo
He will bite the mud
And on my back, I will carry
The immortal fire of Sparta
Without knowing well
If there's a reason
His soldiers would follow his back
300 men
Gave witness
Of the courage because this is Sparta

Alone
If I must go
Alone
To face everyone
I will find a way
To get revenge on
Apollo
He will bite the mud
And on my back, I will carry
The immortal fire of Sparta
