In the heart of the Holy See
in the heart of Christianity
the seat of power
is in danger
There's a foe
of a thousand words
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 fifteen twenty-seven
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 fifteen twenty-seven
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

Come and tell the Swiss Guard's
story again
