Stunde Des Siegers
But to take you from disaster I cannot master, (the four winds...shy ???)
And the roamin' in the gloamin' you have brought, and set before me
And I think that it's an omen, I'm just not what so many people see.
And you shine your glory all around
Do not disguise what we did
I asked you for half a pound, and you said -
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid.
And the child held a ball in the garden, with the old queen
And you kissed the lips
Emerald
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
