Emerald (Alternate Version)

[Verse 1]

Down from the glen came the marchin' men

With their shields and their swords

To fight the fight they believed to be right

And overthrow the overlords

To the towns where there was plenty

They brought plunder, swords, and flame

When they left, the town was empty

And children would never play again

[Chorus]

I believe in the emerald and the emerald is mine

I believe in the emerald and the emerald is mine

I believe in the emerald and the emerald is mine

I believe in the emerald and the emerald is mine

[Verse 2]

Onward over the mountain

Then outward towards the sea

There were creatures flyin' through the air

And sights you would not believe

To the town where there was plenty

They took their flame and swords

To fight the fight they believed to be right

And overthrow the overlords

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Africa

Ethiopia

Americas

And that city below the sea

Where the emerald be
