(Gary Moore/Neil Carter)
I was born up on the North side,
Where the Lagan River flows.
When I came across the border,
I was following my nose.
Dublin city '69,
There could have been no better place,
There was no better time.
Through the thunder and the rain,
The deepest blood of emeralds
Was running through my veins.
Blood of emeralds.
I was down and out on Skid Row,
But I held on to my pride.
The darkest son of Ireland,
He was standin' by my side.
We would sail the stormy seas.
Never looking back,
We were afraid of what we'd see.
Through the thunder and the rain,
The deepest blood of emeralds
Was running through our veins.
Some of us will win and some of us will lose,
The strong will survive.
Some of us will fall,
Some of us won't get out of here alive.
Blood of emeralds.
Blood of emeralds.
I was angry, I was sad,
Just thinking about the times we had.
I felt so lost and lonely too,
What could I say, what could I do?
And after all, the time goes by.
No one knows the reasons why.
You lived each day like there was no tomorrow.
You spent those years living on time you borrowed.
And in your eyes, all I could see was sorrow.
Some of us will win, some of us will lose,
The strong will survive.
Some of us will fall,
Some of us won't get out of here alive.
Blood of emeralds.
Blood of emeralds.
Blood of emeralds.
(Blood of emeralds.)
The deepest blood of emeralds.
Blood of emeralds.
The deepest blood of emeralds.
The deepest, deepest blood of emeralds.
Gary Moore (Robert William Gary Moore, 1952-2011) was an Irish guitarist, singer, and songwriter of international fame. Considered one of the greatest blues rock guitarists of all time, he went through several musical phases, from the hard rock of the 1970s to the electric blues of the 1980s and 1990s. He began his career in the early 1970s with Skid Row, a band that launched him into the British music scene. Subsequently, he collaborated with artists such as Thin Lizzy and Phil Lynott, contributing to defining the sound of Irish rock. In the 1980s, he dedicated himself to blues, releasing highly successful albums like "Still Got the Blues" (1990) and "After Hours" (1992), which consecrated him as a master of the genre. Among his most famous songs are "Parisienne Walkways", "Over the Hills and Far Away" and "The Sky Is Crying".
