Coat of Arms Lyrics

At dawn, envoy arrives
Morning of October 28th
No-day proven by deed
Descendants of Sparta,
Athens, and Crete

Look north, ready to fight
Enemies charge from the hills
To arms facing defeat
There's no surrender, there's no retreat

Time after time, force their enemies back to the line

[Chorus:
Call to arms, banners fly in the wind,
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of Arms reading "Freedom or Death",
Blood of king Leonidas!]

Air raid pounding the land
Bombers are flying both day and night
Endure 6 days of rain
Dropped by invaders bombraid in vain!

Strike hard the tables have turned,
Drive them back over the hills
At arms just like before,
Soldiers, civilians, Hellas at war

By their own hand forced the enemy out of their land

[Chorus:
Call to arms, banners fly in the wind,
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of Arms reading "Freedom or Death",
Blood of king Leonidas!]

Just like their ancestors ages ago
Fought in the face of defeat
Those 300 men left a pride to uphold:
Freedom or Death in effect

Then, now again
Blood of heroes saving their land

It's about the Greco-Italian War I think. This song has been released on Youtube March 1st but the new album "Coat of Arms" hits the stores on the 21st of May.

At dawn envoy arrives Morning of October 28th "No day" proven by deed Descendants of Sparta, Athens and Crete!

Look north, ready to fight Enemies charge from the hills To arms! Facing defeat! There's no surrender! There's no retreat!

Time after time Force their enemies back to the line Call to arms banners fly in the wind For the glory of Hellas Coat of arms reading "Freedom or death!" Blood of king Leonidas

Air raid pounding the land Bombers are flying both day and night Endure six days of rain Dropped by invaders bomb raid in vain

Strike hard, the tables have turned Drive them back over the hills At arms! Just like before Soldiers, civilians, Hellas at war

By their own hand Forced the enemy out of their land

Call to arms, banners fly in the wind For the glory of Hellas Coat of arms reading "Freedom or death!" Blood of king Leonidas

Just like their ancestors ages ago Fought in the face of defeat Those three hundred men Left a pride to uphold Freedom of death in effect

Then, now again Blood of heroes saving their land

Call to arms, banners fly in the wind For the glory of Hellas Coat of arms reading "Freedom or death!" Blood of king Leonidas

Call to arms, banners fly in the wind For the glory of Hellas Coat of arms reading "Freedom or death!" Blood of king Leonidas

Are the 100% correct lyrics, but you're right it's about the Greco-Italian war, but it was WWII not 1.
