======= "The Last Stand" SONG 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.

======= "The Last Stand" LYRICS =======

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

You know it's a good band when they upload *other artists* covers of their own songs to their official channel.

[julianstephenpaulino]

I'm both confused and impressed by this.

[goblinwithaproblem]

Usually it's people making heavy metal versions of "regular" songs; this is a very surprising and delightful turnaround

[ollikoskinen]

Next year's April Fools: Sabaton announces that they change their genre from history themed metal to swing.

[Shield_OW]

imagine a night witches cover like this one... absolutely loved it

[justinrussell]

I laughed at how well this worked. Very good job.

[theentangledwiggler-man]

I think you just put about 11 metal heads into shock from unexpected smooth jazz exposure.

[SweedRaver]

I really wish Sabaton one day will release a "Sabaton Reinterpreted" album filled with songs like this, as well as studio recordings of their acoustic performances.

[akora]

now I can listen to Sabaton while playing Fallout without getting out of the retro feel

[AwakenedKraken]

I wish this cover was on spotify. Its such a vibe!

[RememberTheDead]

I'm picturing the Swiss Guards doing a tapdancing Alistaire-esque number while they go in their last stand to protect the Pope.

[kingrevetst]

please tell me that there will be more cover songs, by these lovely ladies.

[navalcroissant]

When you storming the beaches of Normandy at 8 but reclaiming the holy land at 9

[SignedWithBlood]

yes...after Sabaton's epic covers now comes one of the best covers of a Sabaton song. Amazing job, ladies!

[Annatar]

this is one of the reasons i love sabaton. cover on the official channel. i love how you guys are into the actual history of all the songs as well. sabaton is the best!

[pendragon]

This can't be posib... Ooh is perfect

[homefront]

That moment when Youtube autoplay throws you through a loop. I heard those bells chiming, then got tossed around like a car crash when the jazzy beat came on. Still great.

[Turbo]

I got very confused but I like this kind of surprise

[mr.americathecommieslayer]

This needs to be on the fallout 76 radio !

[Pyeknu]

It's an unusual way of performing that song. Still, I agree with others that Sabaton show a TONNE of integrity in allowing this to be played on their official YouTube channel!

Way to go, guys!
