Thin Lizzy - Emerald (John Peel Session, 1976)

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 come to claim the Emerald
Without it they could not leave
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 come to claim the Emerald
Without it they could not leave
