The Last Stand
SABATON · The Last Stand 2016 · Track 07 of 14
Music: Chris Rörland, Joakim Brodén · Lyrics: Joakim Brodén, Pär Sundström
In the heart of the 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
They're 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 Sant'Angelo is waiting
They're the guards of the Holy See They're the guards of Christianity Their path to history is paved with salvation
They're 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
Dying for salvation with dedication No capitulation, annihilation Papal commendation, reincarnation Heaven is your destination [x2]
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 Guards' story again
