SABATON - LAST STAND * HE REACTS* 

This is from Sabaton website. 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 Swiss Guard is still guarding the Pope and every year they have a ceremony honoring the 147 who died. They dress about the same as they did in 1527 and you should google some pictures if you are curious.

year 1527 - the sack of Rome

The Holy See basically means the Pope in the Vatican and in the 1500s there was an alliance between the Pope and Switzerland and ever since then the Pope has been guarded by a unit in the Swiss army called the Swiss Guard which consists of young Catholic men from Switzerland. This song is about when Rome was sacked by disgruntled troops and the Swiss Guard defended the Pope so that he could escape. They were only 189 guards against over 1000 attackers.

The song is sbout the swiss guards (the 189 is how many there were) defence of the Vatican (where the pope lives aka the steps of heaven) during the sack of rome in 1527

Their best song in my opinion great history

Great song.

Check out Sabaton History they go into the history of their songs

Another banger reaction my dude I actually haven't heard this before I only have the great war album..thanks for introducing me to a new sabaton song

If I were Pope, I would invite them to play this in front of St. Peter’s Basilica. Actually I would send my 189 Swiss Guard to FORCE them to play it. They’d probably be ok with it.

Anyone elsedown to purge some heretic's after this?

A good idea if you are intressted in the history of the song is to visit Sabaton history channel where all will be explained.
