Sword - '(I Am) In Kommand' (official video)

I am the ruler of my world,
Bearing the burden of my past
I am a restituted soul (soul, soul)
I am the owner of my words,
Bearing the wisdom of my acts
I'm on an undisputed roll

(Yeah)

I am a loner on my road,
With every weakness to defend
I will not prostitute my goal (goal, goal)
I am a warrior from the cold,
Daring darkness to descend
I am in absolute kontrol

I ain't going away,
I am here to stay,
So get out of my way

I'm in kommand
There is no disaster
That I cannot master
I'm in kommand
I swear to you,
I am in kommand

I am the maker of my way,
Marching and searching for the key
I will execute my role (role, role)
I am the taker of the day,
Striving and driving to be free
I will institute my hold

I am in kommand
I am in kommand
I am in kommand
I am in kommand
I'm in kommand

Τους θυμάστε εκείνους τους Καναδούς, τους Sword, που κυκλοφόρησαν στην δεκαετία του ογδόντα τους δίσκους "Metalized" (1986) και "Sweet Dreams" (1988); Το τρίτο full length album τους είναι προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον (άκρως χαρακτηριστικό) τίτλο "III" και αναμένεται στα τελειώματα του φθινοπώρου.

Οι Sword μας έρχονται από το Κεμπέκ. Δημιουργήθηκαν το 1980 αρχικά ως tribute μπάντα στους KISS. Έμειναν ενεργοί μέχρι τα μέσα της δεκαετίας του ενενήντα και επανήλθαν πριν από μία... ενδεκάδα έτη (Ιανουάριος 2011).

Bio: «Formed in 1980 in Montreal, Sword released their debut album Metalized in 1986 described as; Aggressive, Melodic, Loud and Rude. And to which Kerrangs Mark Putterford said; “My eyes are a painful shade of purple. My ears are ringing tortuously.

My mouth is awash with blood and broken teeth, I’ve just been ten rounds with a Montreal mob called Sword.“ They were hand-picked by Metallica to open the Quebec leg of the Master of puppets tour, Alice Cooper’s Canadian Return of the nightmare tour and then crisscrossed the UK with the Mighty Lemmy on Motorhead’s Rock’n’roll tour.

It was followed by the Heavy but diverse Sweet Dreams in 1988. After a short US tour promoting the album, they started work on their 3rd album. All hell broke loose and a parting of ways ensued… Until 2011, when they reunited for a few select shows in Canada and Germany and found the urge to go back in the studio to finish where they had left off.»
