Three Hundred in the Pass

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Chorus

Three hundred stand on the narrow pass

Sparta's shields locked in grass and blood

Xerxes sends a tide from afar

But the few hold the gate till the run is done

Verse 1

I marched through morning frost

My father's spear across my back

The rocks were cold and sharp

And the sea kept whispering back

The enemy stretched like night

Beyond the hills they came

A king with a throne of gold

Who never learned our name

Pre-Chorus

They count their spears by the starry sky

But I count the brothers by my side

Chorus

Three hundred stand on the narrow pass

Sparta's shields locked in grass and blood

Xerxes sends a tide from afar

But the few hold the gate till the run is done

Verse 2

Their arrows dim the sun

A storm that never breaks

We drive them down the stone

For honor's lonely sake

The dust becomes a shroud

The voices mix with stones

A traitor shows the way

And still we stand alone

Pre-Chorus

No retreat no fear no flight

We will welcome the coming night

Chorus

Three hundred stand on the narrow pass

Sparta's shields locked in grass and blood

Xerxes sends a tide from afar

But the few hold the gate till the run is done

Bridge

Hear the horn across the ridge

The last of us below

Tell the city that we chose

A death to let it grow

Chorus

Three hundred stand on the narrow pass

Sparta's shields locked in grass and blood

Xerxes sends a tide from afar

But the few hold the gate till the run is done
