The Last Stand

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
 Then 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 waiting
 They're the guards of the Holy See
 They're the guards of Christianity
 Their path to history is paved with salvation
 Then 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
