Just yesterday, I was talking to a friend o' mine and I was playing what I've jotted down so far on the guitar... He told me "I wish you could play Iron Swan by The Sword" and I replied with "I can look it up... hold on" So i did, i brought up youtube, then brought up a tab site, and while bringing up the site, i found this band and song to be pretty friggin awsome... Im now learning how to play this, and it IS fun!!
:50 A good husband will get up before this time. But a GREAT wife would get up with you at this time in the song and say how badass it is and then fall back asleep.
Jocko: Navy Seal, BJJ Black Belt, English major, Hardcore aficionado and certified bad-ass with an awesome podcast. Context: He mentioned this song as an ideal ringtone for those who want to wake up early but worry about waking their spouses up. "it starts off slow... but you better wake up-- cause it's coming!"
enjoy the ride. this is one of the greatest bands. lots of people shit on their new stuff but its all classic material. love the heavy and more mellower tunes equally as much.
Iron ships on seas of blood Black winds fill their silver sails Iron Swan rises high above In crimson twilight through the earthly veil Legions of vermin surround me Malefic taint in their eyes Madness gives sway to delusion In defense of a fortress of lies The Iron Swan floats amidst the reeds It's shadow long upon the water It gives a cry for what can never be Which draws the eyes of Odin's daughters Scion of storms, aegis of rime I call on the powers of old Unleash your vengeance to punish the crimes Of those who I name as my foes
I bought tickets for them in San Diego and the atomic bitchwax opened up for them. Opened a whole new genre to me. Add Fu Manchu and you'll be ready to break stuff
I’ve loved this song (and this band) for like 15 years and I’m happy they’re getting more recognition from Jocko. Check out “The Black River”, “To Take the Black”, and “Freya” as well. Love these guys.
Dragonaut111 True. Lament for the Aurochs has the best opening though. I wish the entire song sounded like the intro. That's why Iron Swan will always be my #1 The Sword joint.

I saw these guys when they opened for Metallica in 2008 (I think that was the year) and they kicked ass.

Instrumentally this is my favorite sword song so far. It really hits you in the mouth and I love it.

Jocko increased the popularity of this song by 8000%
Im in the 40 year old crowd too - I hear ya - it was good to discover these guys...
I know, takes me back to the 80s in CA.

Jocko Willink: YES
I can't believe the amount of Jocko comments 😂 I'll admit, I am here because of him, but I listened to The Sword wayyy before I knew about Jocko
Papaya Pocket Gopher sure you did
@@IMTHATN1NJA 😎
Aye, totally but after jocko it's my ringtone
This is the Jocko Willink song now. You can forget about all the associations you had with song before! BITCH!
This was on American dad! Krampus episode!
Jocko got me here. GETTING AFTER IT.
enjoy the ride. this is one of the greatest bands. lots of people shit on their new stuff but its all classic material. love the heavy and more mellower tunes equally as much.
ditto
Hahaha same
+1 💪🏻
Same
Oh, now I see how 0:50 could make a sleeping spouse angry!
I don't know what jocko they speak of, but he/she must have heard great music
Jocko Willink
Former Navy SEAL.
BTFM
Oh I know of that guy, what is connection to The Sword; please elaborate?
Holy shit, Jocko Willink digs this sort of music? Hot damn!
Iron ships on seas of blood
Black winds fill their silver sails
Iron Swan rises high above
In crimson twilight through the earthly veil
Legions of vermin surround me
Malefic taint in their eyes
Madness gives sway to delusion
In defense of a fortress of lies
The Iron Swan floats amidst the reeds
It's shadow long upon the water
It gives a cry for what can never be
Which draws the eyes of Odin's daughters
Scion of storms, aegis of rime
I call on the powers of old
Unleash your vengeance to punish the crimes
Of those who I name as my foes
90% of people here came from Jocko Willink's video.
Echo looks Jacked
Dang, those are some layers right there...
Option D
Echo looks Jocko'ed
This makes me want to get a barbarian queen riding a polar bear painted on the side of my car
Good. How have I not heard of these guys. I'm a metal failure. Thanks Jocko!
🤣🤣🤣🤣👊🏻
Me too i pity the fact that i haven't heard this.
I bought tickets for them in San Diego and the atomic bitchwax opened up for them. Opened a whole new genre to me. Add Fu Manchu and you'll be ready to break stuff
I discovered this band sometime after discovering unhallowed by black dahlia murder. No bullshit
The instrumental sounds a lot like the old Metallica! Good one, Jocko!
Good.
get after it
Disipline
How did you post this 7 years ago? The Jocko video is only 5 years old😆
I don't know who the fuck jocko is. Im here because I listen to good music
Gotta thank Jocko, this is a gem that I probably would of never found.
My head hurts from it smashing into the wall.. the desk.. the monitor, I've never felt better.
getting after it, ended up here
CHECK!
Jocho Willink was right!! Killer tune!!
Wake up, Jocko
Thanks Jocko!
who is this jocko guy?
Frank Arnieri Jocko Willink. Former Navy SEAL I think. He used this as an alarm.
@@tensae4725 XD thats amazing!
I’ve loved this song (and this band) for like 15 years and I’m happy they’re getting more recognition from Jocko. Check out “The Black River”, “To Take the Black”, and “Freya” as well. Love these guys.
Balrael's Blade, Black River,
I remember seeing these guys open for Metallica at the citizens bank Arena in 08. They played this song, and it was fucking sick.
Jocko!
I just turned 40 but I feel 15 again listening to this. Glad there is real music still being made. The thrash riffs definitely bring me back.
you 48 yet?
@@sgtchickenman9591 They're 51 Now 😢
Love the bass in the end. Fuckin heavy.
+Jacob Pettes a bass that is not heavy is not a bass:P
That bass made my woofer fall through my floor.
I woke up before 0:50 but then i didn't wanted to shut the alarm😂 coz i wanted what came after. We're divorced now.
I must be one of the few coming here from Tony Hawk's Project 8.
jocko brought me here
this is the best sword song in my opinion, it has to be the best to headbang to that's for sure
Yup
Dragonaut111 True. Lament for the Aurochs has the best opening though. I wish the entire song sounded like the intro. That's why Iron Swan will always be my #1 The Sword joint.
The black river
Mastodon , Baroness , The Sword , and Opeth are my fav. bands
Don't forget high on fire. Listen to king of days or Baghdad
You like the whimsical progressive metal boi
Check out kylesa too if y’all haven’t.
Yessss Brethren!!! Mastofriggindon! 🎸🤘💪
Opeth numero uno.
jocko sent me
The Mission: to wake up early

Here is a link to Jocko talking about this song
ruclips.net/video/iYsx06WJr2k/видео.html
Jocko didn’t recommend he told us to put this as our alarm
