Many have sung about the Gates of Fire About the narrow way which leads to Hell Guarded by the men who never tire Three hundred braves who laughed before they fell They were led by a strong and restless soldier At his peak he would give his life away Running side by side his men would follow A deadly wall of bone that would remain "Hear me, my respected brothers; Take as many with you as you can! Let the whole world remember: We took our sacred oaths and never ran" Reaching higher every day The soil that covers our graves Still remembering the pain We died protecting our way
