Now that you mention it, I don't even know if they still give these Awards. Digitalization of Music backfired the industry. I guess Lars Ulrich was kind of right after all.
I would destroy my speakers and my ears just to hear this song at the highest possible volume. I want the vibrations to fracture me into a million tiny pieces so that I can ride the wavelengths of this song for the rest of time.
The Gods of Thunder have smiled on us. The Sword is everything lovers of pure Heavy Metal have been waiting for since 1979.... Incredible song writing with masterful production, that fat analog 70's jam. Thank you for putting out the ONLY music worth listening to these days....
I feel ya, brother. Found these guys like six months ago, and its my favorite band not. We could have been listening to this for a long time. However, that just means there is more incredible stuff we have yet to find. We just gotta keep looking.
When music makes you feel like you're whaling a bong in the back seat of a vintage Camaro, well then that music deserves it's praise. The Sword is like a delicious cake served in a box made of black-light posters. Nobody eats a cake that good every day. But when they do, they know it's something special as fuck.
Yonder rides the Archer Lost in lawless lands Onward rides the Archer Alone in lawless lands Some strange power beckons From beneath the ancient sands No woman will have him No man calls him friend No woman will have him No man calls him friend Exiled and outlawed By his only kin Through twilit skies he rides Searching the darkened side of the world Into the night Never knowing he has been lead astray Through lawless lands he flies Across the burning face of the world Under the suns His life begins to slip away A shining angel descends Down from the sky Her coming was foretold
Pandora is a hell of a thing.... 57 years old and up comes this tune. Remember when we had to listen to the radio to find something new??? If it didn't get airtime you probably never heard it then years later here we are. Good stuff and my mission is now clear. 👍🇺🇲
U know when u hear something which is different and unique. Xplosive stuff by these guys. Just stumbled upon them a couple of hours ago. And I am still here
thank you sword for waking my inner bad ass warrior alpha male spirit ,that loves a real women and stopped taking up for unworthy princesses gold diggers.
Behind the Wall of Sleep and NIB had a child, Into the Void and Heaven and Hell had a child of the opposite gender, their children grew up and mated with each other; Lawless Lands was the result.
Hmmmm and now they've called it quits...but no cries of 'its not fair' from them...I suppose they got to follow a passion and produce a body of work they can be proud of...having only just discovered them I'm gutted I can't see them live
I could just put all their albums on an endless loop and be in music nirvana. Hope we haven't seen the last of them and that this 'hiatus' is only temporary.
God damn I need another set of hands so I can give this track four thumbs up. Thank whatever power is responsible for ensuring music didn't die in our generation.
Goddamn! Keep getting better everytime I hear it!... Bringing my daughter to see them in the Lou on Mon. 13th... Slowly changing her musical tastes from ICP to this, AND I CAN'T BE MORE THRILLED!!!! Now to keep her out of my music collection! 8P
My favorite new-age metal band. They're the best... best of luck to Trivett Wingo (the drummer) as he goes on do to his on thing.. hopefully The Sword will keep doing what they do best.. make great music.
If this album came out in 1973 it would have gone double platinum.
Wouldda had a Frank Frazetta album cover with a space valkyrie and polar bear in a diving helmet
Truer words have never been spoken

jackhammer893 heck no! More!
It would have gone triple uranium.
Came for the music, stayed for the spaceships and the mustache
It's BOB, dammit!
WEEEEEEEOOOOOOOO "onwards rides the archer , lost in lawless lands"
An the shreddin!
Don't forget the katanas
The most underappreciated band ever.
Agreed, but the last album or two were missteps. The Sword is still an All-Time band for me.
I would destroy my speakers and my ears just to hear this song at the highest possible volume. I want the vibrations to fracture me into a million tiny pieces so that I can ride the wavelengths of this song for the rest of time.
No woman will have him. No man calls him Fred.
:D
now i can't unhear this lmao
He prefers Freddy casually. Or Frederick in business type situations.
Oh no man. Lmao
🤣 Freahd!
That outro solo never fails to give me goosebumps.
this is better than 95% of any bands out there!!
Brian Linville wow!!! I just found a BRAND NEW BAND! I LOVE THIS!! 💀
And freaking AMAZING live, they played just about every song they have made.
93%
good one.its like red velvet doughnuts wrapped with blacklight chocolate

Every single person I've showed this song to, is now a huge fan of the band. This is just what new age music needs!
Why am I always a decade late for this stuff. Just awesome.

Yonder rides the Archer
Lost in lawless lands
Onward rides the Archer
Alone in lawless lands
Some strange power beckons
From beneath the ancient sands
No woman will have him
No man calls him friend
No woman will have him
No man calls him friend
Exiled and outlawed
By his only kin
Through twilit skies he rides
Searching the darkened side of the world
Into the night
Never knowing he has been lead astray
Through lawless lands he flies
Across the burning face of the world
Under the suns
His life begins to slip away
A shining angel descends
Down from the sky
Her coming was foretold
I love the guitar player/singer rocking a Zappa look. "Don't eat the yellow snow."
Totally misheard the opening lyric as "Yondu is the Archer"
It's actually almost fitting to the song...
its so nice to listen to a band without any bad songs.....no really all of their songs kick ass
Pure rock-n-roll. No gimmicks. Just great music.
I literally do not know how there at "67 dislikes" of this song , The Sword are badasses and will continue to be!! SKÅL
HEAVY Billy Gibbons vibes up in here!
My fav tune by them. Them choruses still give me chills 12 years later.
Lol and the random ninja swords lol. Kills me
Pandora is a hell of a thing.... 57 years old and up comes this tune. Remember when we had to listen to the radio to find something new??? If it didn't get airtime you probably never heard it then years later here we are. Good stuff and my mission is now clear. 👍🇺🇲
I really dig their sound.
This whole trio of video tres brujas.... lawless lands....night city has a very catchy riff
Best album in my opinion. Awesome band!
imagine this, but live.
big yes.
Deserves so many more views.
Damn! The subtle Heavy Metal references in the musical passages are too cool. The videos cool too. And I thought Frank Zappa was dead, he sings geat!
I,m 53 yrs old I,ve been buying and listening for 40 yrs The Sword was worth waiting for.
When the dungeon master rolls perfect stats for metal, you get this video.
by far one of their best songs
frontman looks like Frank Zappa :) love this song, yes they make good music in present age , just gotta dig .
U know when u hear something which is different and unique.
Xplosive stuff by these guys.
Just stumbled upon them a couple of hours ago. And I am still here
metropolitano dinamo .....this song is on WARP RIDERS and it's chock full of killer riffs, solos and it's one hell of a concept album....cheers
thank you sword for waking my inner bad ass warrior alpha male spirit ,that loves a real women and stopped taking up for unworthy princesses gold diggers.
Behind the Wall of Sleep and NIB had a child, Into the Void and Heaven and Hell had a child of the opposite gender, their children grew up and mated with each other; Lawless Lands was the result.
Just did bong rips on my deck, working on my gamma world campaign. This was such a kick ass find!!!
I love this classic rock vibe almost more than their doom sound. It takes more balls to play with less overdrive and standard tuning like the old days
Absofuckinlutely! 💪
This is such a good song. Rock on dudes!
These dudes always deliver some amazing music I love these dudes
Great band totally underrated
I just love The Sword. Pure love.
Love this song. Discovered The Sword in 2010. Been hooked on them ever since.
End of this month I will be seeing them for the fifth time. Cannot wait!
I like it has that 70-80s vibe along with modern work... Rock!!!
I love how they use the Pink Ranger in all of their videos.
The Sword...Excellent band! but c'mon, why only 350k views?? I can see why the wolrd we have is what it is now..
I don't even smoke pot but The Sword gets me high
Imagine them together! Sublime tunes dude.
@@Hashbeast Believe me, I have a playlist waiting for federal legalization.
@@grindstone4910 Come on down to Colorado!!
@@Hashbeast I live in Oklahoma, believe me we're good on that. Again, I need federal decriminalization. As a gun owner and a federal employee.
To paraphrase SoaD, "The weed makes me feel like I'm on this song." :)
it is crime not to buy original CD from these guys. this type of music need support asap!
70's? no way!Because this is fuggin Killer! I was 1 in 1973, but this is Fuggin Lovely! Metal!!!
Can we get this with The Mandalorian scenes! I think it would be very fitting!
Still love this song after almost 3 years. It has the feeling!
more to it then meets the ear. i play the sword on a daily basis. i love the old stories! i love the sword. more guys, more!
They sound to me like a new cool version of Corrosion of Conformity only with comic book lyrics. It's refreshing and the grooves are tight. Rock on!
this band is so awesome. Long live Heavy Metal. Long live the Sword
Every part of this song is incredible; I can't get enough of it.
I don't get how JD's voice is this great
Hmmmm and now they've called it quits...but no cries of 'its not fair' from them...I suppose they got to follow a passion and produce a body of work they can be proud of...having only just discovered them I'm gutted I can't see them live
Cheese pure cheese, and so fucking heavy! Goddamn it these guys are awesome
you really need to turn the bass up and remix this. its soo fun to play on upright bass
i'd like a wallpaper of this spaceship
This cd got stuck in my player (truck)
I know every note of every song
Seen em live open for Metallica
New Orleans biiiiiatch
Pleased to meet this band recently.
I could just put all their albums on an endless loop and be in music nirvana.
Hope we haven't seen the last of them and that this 'hiatus' is only temporary.
love me some sword an appetizer to my Sabbs
God dammit... these videos, man. I love the absolute hell out of the music, and now I love the absolute hell out of the music videos.
Saw them open for Clutch. The rest is smoke and history.
Saw these guys live in NEW MEXICO. AMAZING CONCERT
How music used to be, love this band!
fuck i love this album
I listened to it for about four years straight. That's the mark of a good album.
These guys are bad ass... Love the vintage sound...
These guys are excellent!!!
such a great song
this song gives me chills!
Best back and forth on guitar since Hetfield/Hammett
Probably their best song. Always gets me high…
This might be the only music video that feels like it was made for the RPG Traveller.
my new favorite band. like fresh air.
great!!..best stoned heavy rock
Dudes fast roping out of a spaceship at the end. 10/10, fantastic fucking idea. The Sword is top notch.
Rezvani, Check out old Black Sabbath. These guys really sound Sabbathy, in a very good way! \m/
Amazing band.
such an awesome band. no need to say anything else.
Bands like these guys, Red Fang, Saviours, etc. need to bring rock back.
My all time favorite The Sword track right here.
I can't wait to see these guys AGAIN in Orlando!! Seriously great stuff. This is what metal was supposed to be a violent symphony.
So much groove in this song.
Can't wait to see these guys.
a great bar band - keep going guys !!!!.
Haven't smoked in weeks, but watching this gave me a contact high!
How does this not have at least a million views
awesome vid & song!
THIS BAND IS SO AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God damn I need another set of hands so I can give this track four thumbs up. Thank whatever power is responsible for ensuring music didn't die in our generation.
13 people are stupid, how can you not like this.....awesome

These guys are tight!!!
Goddamn! Keep getting better everytime I hear it!... Bringing my daughter to see them in the Lou on Mon. 13th... Slowly changing her musical tastes from ICP to this, AND I CAN'T BE MORE THRILLED!!!! Now to keep her out of my music collection! 8P
Great sound... Love it... Thanks!!
This is one of the best songs by the sword and James Gunn if you’re listening this should be in Peacemaker. Fits perfect.
My favorite new-age metal band. They're the best... best of luck to Trivett Wingo (the drummer) as he goes on do to his on thing.. hopefully The Sword will keep doing what they do best.. make great music.
