thousand miles away from home
after greece’s civil war
they came to give support to king’s brother
on a field near babylon
two armies claim the persian throne
as the greeks prevail in battle
by fire, by sword
we stand against you all
we ride the starlit night
ten thousand side by side
the claimer died in battlefield
his soldiers joined the real king
alone the greeks in asia were left
dark winters came and more will come
more battles through barbarian lands
more blood will be spilled as they ‘re heading west
by fire by sword we stand against you all
we ride the starlit night ten thousand side by side
