The Sword - Barael's Blade [ Age Of Winters ]

Forged by the crow-mage from shards of darkness
Honed by the half-breed to vorpal sharpness
Behold!
The bastards blade...
Bane of the demon lord
Slayer of the spider-priests
Spiller of the silver blood
Fragments of bore infused with purest steel
A warrior's hand and a wizard's mind to wield
Killer of Lor avenging the accursed
Gathering knowledge, quenching deadly thirst.

I've been listening to the sword since my freshman year in high school and Im in my sophomore year in college now. WAY before I ever drank or smoked weed or started believing in norse gods for apparent reason other than I liked amon amarth and bands like the sword. But why does that matter? nothings gonna stop me from killing serpents, fucking maidens, taking treasure, conquering kingdoms, throwing down with wizards and JUST ENJOYING MY MUSIC. CUZ ITS MUSIC

[@TheRockOffice]

Oh, is it a cartoon? Yeah, I have to return to the The Sword section of youtube every now and then to get my fix. XD

[@9-LYFE-SPHINX]

[@TheMetalAllfather]

Been a fan of The Sword since the early demos when they were still The Sword of Doom. Huge fan of these guys even though they did fall off my radar for a few years. They should've been huge, like, Queens of The Stone Age, Rolling Stones huge. There's a serious lack of good, solid, old school Heavy Metal and Hard Rock on the airwaves, and these guys could've been responsible for a huge revival of that.

[@STATICballX]

+Trent Thompson I think it's done on a synthboard of some kind and not a stringed instrument, though it's the bass line of the track and you mentioned nothing of a guitar so I'm arguing semantics with myself. I'd love to know the bass line and recreate it on my bass. I'm terrible at tabbing by ear.
