Something for Thursday

I don’t remember who tweeted about this song the other day, but they basically said something along the lines of, “Sometimes you need a Swedish metal song about the soldiers who protected the Pope during the sack of Rome in 1527.” I, of course, had never once needed such a thing–until that moment, when suddenly I needed this song very badly. 

So, here it is. The band is called Sabaton, and the song is “The Last Stand”. The chorus goes like this:

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

That’s…something! It’s quite a song. Apparently this band does a lot of songs inspired by historical events. I’m going to have to give them more of a listen at some point.
