This song isn't about the Crusades, but about the Last Stand of the Swiss guard during the sack of Rome. One of the most epic and inspiring moments in history. Of 189 Swiss guard, 42 of them fled with the Pope to Castel Sant'Angelo. The remaining 147 stood their ground against tens of thousands of German and Spanish troops, fighting to the last man and them off long enough for the Pope to escape.
