Spartans Immortal Warriors

Spartans courageous men standing, 
Shoulder to shoulder on the battlefield. 
Immortal warriors of the past 
With King Leonidas by their side 
A hero born for this day.
As proclaimed by the gods. 
With their shields burning fiercely with flames of fire. 
Reaching out to embrace the enemy, 
And their weapons honed on blood and bones. 
From eternal battles, hardening their hearts to stone.
Tempering their souls into cold steel.
Grinding their heels deeply into the ground.
Relentlessly united in defending their cultural ideals.
Or to die and be carried back to Sparta upon their shields. I demand a critic.
