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 guards of the holy see They're the guards of Christianity Their path to history is paved with salvation
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
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 Guards' story again

I used to know the guys from Stryper.....
Interesting comments there! Calling for a new Crusade, hmmm.
Crusades were a reaction to islamic invasions; we did not strike first. Today there is a massive islamic invasion in Christendom. Mark my words, the last crusade is just around the corner. Well either that, or dimmitude.
My church.... Great music!

Yup. Sad but true.
Personally, I want Hagia Sophia back!!!
Sabaton, The Carolean's Prayer.
Protestant valor.
I have just recently discovered Sabaton, on YouTube. Love the music and the lyrics, and am really impressed that someone of that ago group knows and understands history.
