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

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

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
