Sabaton: The Last Stand (Music Video)

Sabaton: The Last Stand (Music Video) is a story. The story of the 189 brave soldiers in the Swiss guard during the sacking of Rome in 1527. Since Charles V, ruler of the holy roman empire couldn’t pay his troops they mutinied and forced their commander to lead them towards Rome where plunder was plentiful. When the invading force entered the vatican pope Clement VII escaped to Castel Sant’Angelo via passetto di Borgo. The few remaining guardsmen gave their lives on the steps to St. Peters Basilica. A mix of Sabaton music containing a part of history and WW2 warfare video. Some how it is alluring and entertaining. Following are the lyrics of the famed song: 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.
