Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques

	This is about a raid, but not by Vikings. It's about Cromwell and the English taking Ireland. I believe it refers to the Sack of Wexford and the Siege of Drogheda. The last line says "they came for the emerald (Ireland) and without it they could not leave". That's my take.

	I think Queenbabe is right about this being a raid in Ireland. On a side note, the riff after the verse in this song is the greatest riff in the history of rock 'n' roll.
