Written in Sand

Endless miles of desert sand
For us the war is soon to end
One final task
There’s no way back
Out of the black a force appears
We’re caught off guard a wall of spears
Nowhere to turn they’re all around
We’re simple prey on their hunting ground
A Persian horde, their promise kept
Who gills their prince will pay the debt
They solely want our general
But give no inch it’s Spartan law
Now we know why they’re here
So gather round, our goal is clear
We must protect
We will defend
I have succumbed, so many blades
The wound is deep, life quickly fades
I cry out loud, my men assailed
I was to lead yet I have failed
No more, no more. No more, it’s over
I see my life before my eyes
It’s written in…
Not worth to remember me by
It’s written in sand
I see my life before my eyes
It’s written in…
Not worth to remember me by
It’s written in sand
No more, no more, no more…
Now it’s written in sand!
