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

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

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
