The German translation of the lyric "Gave their lives on the steps to Heaven" means "Gave their lives on the way into the heavenly kingdom," but the lyric actually refers to how the remnants of the Swiss Guards who weren't killed in the initial stand at the Vatican's Teutonic cemetery retreated to the basilica and died literally on the "551 Steps to Heaven" which is a colloquially term for the steps of St. Peter's Basilica.

[@UCSPanther20]

Swiss Mercenaries were sought after as bodyguard units in Europe by Kings and Emperors as they had a reputation for professionalism and political neutrality, both of which were valuable assets in the often volatile nature of European politics. In addition to the Vatican, another famous Swiss Guard unit was one that was hired to guard the Bourbon monarchs of France. The bloody battle between the Swiss Guardsmen and rioting Paris mobs at the Tuileries Palace during the Insurrection of August 10, 1792 was their most famous engagement. The Guardsmen gave back as good as they got from the rampaging crowds, but they were overwhelmed and slaughtered. The survivors were later beheaded. After the Bourbons returned to the French throne in the 1800s, they erected a statue dedicated to the memory of that guard unit, dubbed "The Lion of Lucerne".

[@spitfire4sergi]

I know it’s never going to happen, but imagine Saboton singing this live in St. Peter’s square with an awesome light show, and behind them the Swiss guard stoically stand guard of the Cathedral.

It’s something most folks don’t realize, ‘till they’ve watched it, y’see. They’ll scoff and say ‘a prayer won’t stop a blade’. Sure, they all have their little superstitions or faiths. There isn’t a soldier alive that doesn’t have a lucky charm or godly symbol somewhere on his uniform. But do most of them think it’ll save their ass, standing against the enemy? Nay. They haven’t seen it though. There’s a chill to it. 147 men against thousands; a bunch of guards holdin’ off a small army. You march forward, cocky as you can be, cause you know this ain’t gonna be a real fight. The you see them. They’re just standin’ there, at the ready, darin’ you to come forward. But there isn’t a shake among them, no. You look out, and you see their eyes, and they ain’t the eyes of a soldier. They ain’t wary, or afraid, or eager for battle. They’re the eyes of a father protecting his children, of a husband saving his wife. They’re dead men on their feet, and they know it… but they have faith. Faith is a scary thing when you’re facing it down, lad. A good soldier can hold the line against any bugger you throw at him… But a man with nothing but faith in his heart, pressed up against a wall? He’ll stop hell itself. Cause’ they don’t feel fear. They don’t feel pain, They don’t scream or retreat or break down. They don’t get tired, and when they die, they die lookin’ at you with those same, fearless eyes.

This song made me researched the Swiss Guards and who they actually were. They were the elite bodyguards of Pope Clement in the early 1500’s. In 1527, as he sing suggests, they were deployed to hold off the invading Spanish and Lutheran German troops that were invading Rome, and to buy time to allow Pope Clement to escape. They were massacred by the sheer size of the invading force, including their Captain, Röist, who was slain in view of his own wife. Those who lived retreated to defend the Pope’s entourage. In the end, Rome went under siege by the Spanish, and only 40 Swiss Guards survives to “tell the story again”. God bless.

The last stand of the Swiss guard has got to be one of the most badass events to ever come out of Christianity. Easily one of my favorites on the album, which is saying something because like 90% of that album is simply next level (I’m really not huge on blood of Bannockburn but it’s not bad either)

To all those who think this song is about the crusades i have two things to say. One, read the description our dear friend Piscator has so thoughtfully put up telling you what this song is all about. Two, actually listen to the lyrics and realize this is a song about the sacking of Rome in 1527 and the last stand of the Swiss guard!
