John Schaffer and the Sons of Liberty are back with a new album "Spirit of the Times". This is an unofficial video of the song Molon Labe. Modern Greek pronunciation "moˈlon laˈve" means "Come and take them". It is a classical expression of defiance reportedly spoken by King Leonidas I in response to the Persian army's demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae. <br /> <br /> Listen to the new album: http://sons-of-liberty.bandcamp.com/ <br /> <br />Molon Labe Music/Lyrics - Schaffer: <br /> <br />Onward we march Our throats cracked and dry <br />If we fall upon their blades With honor we shall die <br />Suffer unto me Xerxes the God-king <br />Threatening all we love Sparta is our home . <br />Come and take it! Bring it on! <br />In defiance of your tyranny Sparta will stand strong . <br />To the mouth of hell The phalanx will deny <br />Tell your king these men are free With honor we shall die <br />With eyes black as night The Immortals arrive <br />Behind the wall of Persian dead The Spartans did deny . <br /> <br />Chorus: <br />I see the signs A tyrant on the rise <br />Will you stand free? Will you defy? <br />I see the signs A tyrant on the rise <br />Will you fall to your knees? Will you stand and fight? <br /> <br />**Battle/guitar solo . <br /> <br />Come and take it! Bring it on! <br />In defiance of your tyranny Sparta will stand strong . <br />Wave after wave Bloodlust in our eyes <br />We’ve been betrayed We’ve been outflanked We dine in hell tonight <br />No surrender, no retreat This is the Spartan way <br />I’d rather die on my feet Than grovel on my knees . <br /> <br />Chorus: <br /> I see the signs A tyrant on the rise <br />Will you stand free? Will you defy? <br />I see the signs A tyrant on the rise <br />Will you fall to your knees? <br />Will you stand and fight? <br />Come and take it! Bring it on! <br />In defiance of your tyranny Sparta will stand strong
