Emerald Lyrics - Thin Lizzy

Emerald (Lynott, Downey, Gorham, Robertson) 

------- 

Down from the glen came the marching men 

With their shields and their swords 

To fight the fight they believed to be right 

Overthrow the overlords 

To the town where there was plenty 

They brought plunder, swords and flame 

When they left the town was empty 

Children would never play again 

From their graves I heard the fallen 

Above the battle cry 

By that bridge near the border 

There were many more to die

Then onward over the mountain 

And outward towards the sea 

They had come to claim the Emerald 

Without it they could not leave
