The Last Stand

Song by the Sweedish Heavy Metal band Sabaton from their album of the same name.The song is very commonly used for For Honor and Crusade memesThe song is commonly mistaken to describe the Crusades but instead depicts the Sack of Rome in 1527 during which combined forces of around 5,200 soldiers including 189 swiss guard defended Rome from mainly Spainish troops.The song focuses on the last stand of the Swiss guard and their "service to heaven" in which they defended the Pope and"gave their lives on the steps of heaven"These steps being the steps of St. Peter's Basilica from where the Pope planned to escape from via his (not so secret) secret passageway known as the Passeto Di Borgo to his Impregnable fortress called Castel Sant Angelo. The Pope was accompanied and defened by the remaining 42 Swiss Guard that was left. The escape to the fortress is referenced in the verse"Under guard of 42Along a secret avenueCastle saint Angelo is waiting"147 of the 189 Swiss guard were killed during The Sack of Rome along with 500 millita and around 45,000 civillians who were killed, exiled or taken prisoner.

A song from sabaton's album the last stand (a very good metal band) that describes the crusades perfectly and is commonly used in Crusader and for honor memes.

In the heart of holy see
In the home of Christianity
The seat of power is in danger
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
Then the 189
In the service of heaven
They're protecting the holy line
It was 1527
Gave their lives on the steps to heaven
Thy will be done!
Example:
Person 1: hey the last stand is pretty damn neato
Person 1: in the heart of the holy see
Person 2: in the home of Christianity

Person 3: the seat of power is in danger
Person 1: there's a foe of a thousand swords
Person 2: they've been abandoned by their lords
Person 3: their fall from grace will pave the their path to damnation!
Person 1, 2 & 3: WE ARE CRUSADERS AT HEART, DEUS VULT
Heretic: sabaton isnt even that good
Person 1, 2 & 3: IT SATS YOUR A HERETIC

A battle that is considered the final defense of what is left of a military group, against an overwhelming opposition (example: 500 defenders vs. 2000 attackers). Here, the defending force will unleash all of their strength, motivated by a fighting spirit.

Usually this results in either the annihilation of the defending force, or in rare cases, the retreat of the attacking force, depending on the circumstances (example: Out of supplies, or have received heavy casualties).

Whilst in a last stand, the defending force has an opportunity to surrender, but that could also lead to their deaths. This however is really a moral question on if they should surrender or not, because the defending force really has nowhere else to retreat to should they be defeated. Mostly, the concept of a last stand is to ultimately 'go down fighting'.
Example:
Battle of Thermopylae
Battle of the Alamo
Battle of Port Hudson
Battle of Hill 3234
Battle of Long Tan

A lose military term used to describe a situation in which a group of people holds a defensive position in spite of almost certain defeat. examples include the battle of thermopylae, the battle of moscow and the battle of hill 776. contrary to popular belief the battle of little big horn aka. custer's last stand is not strictly speaking a last stand as custer was attacking and was over run due to his own faulty strategies.
Example:
the battle of little big horn was not a real last stand, custer was just to arrogant to accept help.

Example:
This is our last stand.

A last stand is a military situation in which a body of troops holds a defensive position in the face of overwhelming odds. The defensive force usually takes very heavy casualties or is completely destroyed, as happened at the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, the Battle of the Persian Gate in 330 BC, the Battle of Karbara in 680, the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, the Georgian Three Hundred Aragvians in 1795, the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, the Battle of Shiroyama in 1877, the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, the Battle of Pavan Khind in 1660, and Battle of Saragarhi in 1897 and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943.
Example:
This last stand is not mine or yours or anyone's of the ours - it's theirs.


Last Stand

An ability from the MMO World of Warcraft (WoW) that is only used by the warrior class. The Warrior must also spec into protection and must select the the talent "Last Stand" within the tree itself.

Last Stand gives the the warrior 30% of his max health for 20 seconds. As soon as the timer is up, the health gained from last stand is lost. It is a mandatory ability for any protection warrior, whether he or she decides to pvp or pve.
Example:
The Warrior was under a lot of pressure from his enemies relentless attacks. In a last ditch effort to hold the flag, the Warrior went into Last Stand, saving himself more time.

The kind of stand an idiot took instead of taking one when they had a chance to be a freakin genius.
Example:
Chris coulda been the next Einstein but he got combative with a guy he knew and it wound up being his last stand. 22 years old, fucked up.
