Thermopylae,
This isn't where I want to be.
But you crush me with your walls.
This is where greatness falls.

Thermopylae,
Why are you inside of me?
If this is how you hide from truth,
Then I don't want to be like you.

Thermopylae,
These hot gates are a burning key,
That I cannot reach Thessaly.
You're a sort of anomaly.
Thermopylae.
