[01:39.45]I was born up on the
[01:40.47]North side,
[01:44.01]Where the
[01:44.37]Lagan River flows.
[01:49.23]When I came across the border,
[02:01.56]I was following my nose.
[02:02.10]Dublin city '69,
[02:05.01]There could have been no better place,
[02:07.11]There was no better time.
[02:09.03]Through the thunder and the rain,
[02:14.46]The deepest blood of emeralds
[02:17.01]Was running through my veins.
[02:27.30]Blood of emeralds.
[02:34.83]I was down and out on
[02:37.56]Skid Row,
[02:41.43]But I held on to my pride.
[02:46.32]The darkest son of
[02:47.67]Ireland, He was standin' by my side.
[02:54.72]We would sail the stormy seas.
[02:59.91]Never looking back,
[03:01.65]We were afraid of what we'd see.
[03:03.12]Through the thunder and the rain,
[03:09.60]The deepest blood of emeralds
[03:12.30]Was running through our veins.
[03:16.02]Some of us will win and some of us will lose,
[03:20.76]The strong will survive.
[03:25.92]Some of us will fall,
[03:29.28]Some of us won't get out of here alive.
[03:31.71]Blood of emeralds.
[03:38.64]Blood of emeralds.
[04:32.79]I was angry,
[04:35.73]I was sad,
[04:39.42]Just thinking about the times we had.
[04:45.24]I felt so lost and lonely too,
[04:51.87]What could
[04:52.86]I say, what could
[04:55.68]I do? After all, the time goes by.
[04:59.94]No one knows the reasons why.
[05:10.68]You lived each day like there was no tomorrow.
[05:20.40]You spent those years living on time you borrowed.
[05:26.04]And in your eyes, all
[05:34.83]I could see was sorrow.
[06:28.89]Some of us will win, some of us will lose,
[06:33.27]The strong will survive.
[06:38.64]Some of us will fall,
[06:42.15]Some of us won't get out of here alive.
[06:55.23]Blood of emeralds.
[07:03.27]Blood of emeralds.
[07:06.39]Blood of emeralds.
[07:10.68]Blood of emeralds.
[07:23.16]The deepest blood of emeralds.
[07:23.97]Blood of emeralds.
[07:25.29]The deepest blood of emeralds.
[07:48.57]The deepest, deepest blood of emeralds.
