Sabaton

The Last Stand

In the heart of Holy See
In the home of Christianity
The Seat of power is in danger

There's a foe of a thousand swords
They've been abandoned by their lords
Their fall from grace will pave their path,
To damnation.

Then the 189
In the service of heaven.
They’re protecting the holy line.
It was 1527, gave their lives
On the steps to heaven.
Thy will be done!

For the grace, for the might of our lord
For the home of the holy
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Gave their lives so boldly.

For the grace, for the might of our lord
In the name of his glory
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Come and tell their story again.

Under guard of 42
Along a secret avenue
Castel Saint’Angelo is waiting.

They’re the guard of the Holy See
They’re the guards of Christianity.
Their path to history
Is paved with salvation

Dying for salvation with dedication
No capitulation, annihilation
Papal commendation, reincarnation
Heaven is your destination.

In the name of god

Gave their lives so boldly.
Come and tell
The Swiss guards story again.
