High in the mountains and deep in the pines
lies the source of a vortex where certain forces align
with nothing to do but commune with the trees
in the valley of mist and shadow restless souls can be released
why do people wonder if there is evil in the world?
if it's lurking in the darkness until its plans can unfurl
when it's standing before you in the clear light of day
in a finely tailored suit with a smile on its face
sun and moon
light and shadow
sacred ground
to be hallowed
in the hills
and the hollows
where it wills
we will follow
sun and moon, light and shadow
sacred ground to be hallowed
in the hillsand the hollows
where it wills, we will follow
The lyrics MIST AND SHADOW of THE SWORD is also present in the album High country (2015)
The Sword è un gruppo musicale statunitense di stoner metal formatosi ad Austin, Texas nel 2003. Il nucleo fondante del gruppo è costituito da J.D. Cronise (voce, chitarra), che aveva già esperienza con la band Those Peabodys. Dopo aver selezionato diversi musicisti, ha trovato l'assetto definitivo con Kyle Shutt alla chitarra ritmica, Bryan Richie al basso e Trivett Wingo alla batteria. La musica di The Sword è caratterizzata da riff pesanti, melodie epiche e un sound ispirato ai classici del heavy metal degli anni '70 e '80. Tra i loro album più importanti figurano "Age of Winters" (2006), "Gods of the Earth" (2008) e "Apocryphon" (2012). The Sword si sono sciolti nel 2016, lasciando un'eredità di riff memorabili e un impatto significativo sulla scena stoner metal.
