Emerald

And down from the glen, came the marching men
With their shields and their swords
To fight the fight, they believed to be right
And overthrow the overlords

To the town where there was plenty
They brought plunder, swords and flame
And 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 down by the border
There were many more to die

Then onwards over the mountain
And outward towards the sea
They'd come to claim the emerald
Without it they would not leave
