@[Madden75:42377] Who hasn't come to Ireland with out the plan of occupation. Side note, you comment reminded me of my grandmother telling me stories of how the Black and Tans burned her house down. |

I read a lot of the comments about the lyrics referring to viking raids, Norman raids, Cromwellian conquest, and The Troubles. They are all right. This song more than all others captures the Irish conscience. The emerald is Ireland (the Emerald Isle) and the groups mentioned all wanted it and wanted to take it front the Irish who put stiff resistance. Gary Moore did a awesome cover of this song. |
