The Last Stand Lyrics

In the heart of Holy Sea,
In the home of Christianity,
The seat of power is in dangerThere's a foe of a thousand swords,
They've been abandoned by their lords
Their fall from grace will pave their path to damnation!They're the one hundred eighty-nine
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 forty-two,
Along a secret avenue,

Castel Sant'Angelo is waitingThey're the guard of the Holy See,
They're the guards of Christianity
Their path to history is paved with salvation!They're the one hundred eighty-nine
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![solo]Dying for salvation, with dedication!
No capitulation, annihilation!
Papal commendation, reincarnation,
Heaven is your destination!
Dying for salvation, with dedication!
No capitulation, annihilation!
Papal commendation, reincarnation,
Heaven is your destination!In the name of God!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!
Gave their lives so boldly!
Come and tell the Swiss Guard's story again!
