Emerald Green Lyrics

Hush now baby just close your eyes and go to sleep

I hope you dream

And all you wish for will come in time please believe

And don't you weep

So what are you going to do

When everybody here thinks they're better than you

In the land of emerald green

Bright futures fade

Your hopes were sold and torn away

Betrayed by all you trust

And by those you've praised

Where truth lies buried in unmarked graves

Hush now mother don't dare explain yourself to me

There is no need

A bed of concrete a blanket of snow on this cold street

You stayed with me

So what are you going to do

When everybody here thinks they're better than you

In the land of emerald green

Bright futures fade

Your hopes were sold and torn away

Betrayed by all you trust

And by those you've praised

Where truth lies buried in unmarked graves

What now the terrible beauty is born

(Who are we)

Wretched and weak and so adored

(Who are we)

Her sacred spirit all for lorn

(Who are we)

An eternal wake where no one mourns

(Who are we)

So what are you going to do

When everybody here thinks they're better than you

In the land of emerald green

Bright futures fade

Your hopes were sold and torn away

Betrayed by all you trust

And by those you've praised

Where truth lies buried in unmarked graves

What now the terrible beauty is born

(Who are we)

Wretched and weak and so adored

(Who are we)

Her sacred spirit all for lorn

(Who are we)

An eternal wake where no one mourns

(Who are we)
