Story behind the song
From Wikipedia: "In 480 BC an alliance of Greek city-states battled the invading Persian Empire at the pass of Thermopylae, in central Greece. Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the Persians for three days in one of history's most famous last stands. A small force led by King Leonidas of Sparta blocked the only road through which the massive army of Xerxes I of Persia could pass. After three days of battle, a local resident named Ephialtes is believed to have betrayed the Greeks by revealing a mountain path that led behind the Greek lines. Dismissing the rest of the army, King Leonidas stayed behind with 300 Spartans, 700 Thespian volunteers, 400 Thebans that had been pressed into service, and 900 Helots..."
Lyrics
A King of Sparta Is not a King Unless he faces his Fate And dies with his face To the Enemy. Can you hear the Sound of Liberty? Then, stand your ground And try to buy Time.
