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 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 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 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
