Verse 1
CThe Rain Fell Soft On The Turf Stack Wall, Where MyF Grandfather WoulCd Stand
With A CMatch Held Low And A Story Told Of ThisAm Battered, StubborGn Land
He CSpoke Of Ghosts In The Risin’ Smoke, OfF Footsteps In ThCe Rain
Of Quiet Men With A Burning Oath They GCarried Through TheC Pain
And I Still AmHear His Voice In TheF Wind ACt Night, Sayin’ “Hold That FireF – Keep It BurnGing Bright”

Chorus
Oh, The CFlame They Could Not Quench, It’s FAlive In Me CTonight
In Every Whispered Prayer And Every AmRebelF Song AGt Night
Through The CDark And Through The Storm, Through TheF Tears We NeveAmr Show
Oh, The CFlame They Could NotAm Quench Is ThFe OnGly TruthC We Know
Yeah It CBurns, Yeah It Burns, In TheF Heart, In ThCe Skies
Still AmBurning, StillC BurniGng In IriCsh Eyes

Verse 2
They Tried To CWipe The Old Names Clean,F Tried To Still ThCe Tongue
Shut The Doors, Killed The Lights WhenAmeverF SongCs WeGre Sung
But Every CDawn On Donegal BrokeF Sharp Against ThCe Gray
And Lit A Spark In Every Soul They GNever TookC Away
You Can AmChain The Hands, You CanF Claim ThCe Land
But You’ll Never Take The Fire From A AmPeople WhoG Stand

Chorus
Oh, The CFlame They Could Not Quench, It’s FAlive In Me CTonight
In Every Whispered Prayer And Every AmRebelF Song AGt Night

Now I FStand Where The Hawthorn Bends In TheC Cold October Air
And I AmFeel That Same Old Current Like AF Pulse That’s AlwayGs There
And The CChildren Ask What It All Means, IF Smile And Tell TheAmm Play
It’s CNot Just Ours, It’sAm Yours TCo HoGld, And Never LoCse Again

Verse 3
When The CWind Cuts Through And The Night Runs Long, And TheF Silence Feels ToCo Deep
I Hear The Drums In The Frozen AmGround, I Hear TheF Past Beneath MGy Feet
And It CRises Up Like A Battle Cry From TheF Ash And From ThAme Clay
You Can CBend, You Can Break, But You Won’t Erase What WasG Never Yours TCo Take

Chorus 3
Oh, The CFlame They Could Not Quench, Now It’sF Roaring Through ThCe Years
In The Laughter And The Scars And In The FUnAmshedG Tears
Through The CDark And Through The Storm, Through TheF Blood And Through ThAme Snow
Oh, The CFlame They Could NotAm Quench Is ThGe Reason That CWe Grow
Yeah It CBurns, Yeah It Burns, Let TheF Whole World See IAmt Rise
Still CBurning, StillAm BurninGg In IriCsh EAmyes
Still CBurninAmg, StilCl BurnAming.  GThe Flame They CouldC Not QAmuenCch
