Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a number called Emerald
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
To the town where there was plenty
They brought plunder, sword and flame
When they left, the town it was empty
And children would never play again
[Verse 4]
From their graves I heard the fallen
Above the battle cry
By that bridge near the border
There were many more to die
[Verse 5]
Then onward over the mountain
Onward towards the sea
They come to claim the emerald
Without it they couldn't leave
Written by: Brian Downey, Brian Robertson, Phil Lynott, Scott Gorham
