Verse 1
EThe Rain Fell Soft On The Turf Stack Wall, Where MyA Grandfather WoulEd Stand
With A EMatch Held Low And A Story Told Of ThisC#m Battered, StubbornB Land
He ESpoke Of Ghosts In The Risin’ Smoke, OfA Footsteps In ThEe Rain
Of Quiet Men With A Burning Oath They BCarried Through TheE Pain
And I Still C#mHear His Voice In The AWind AtE Night, Sayin’ “Hold That Fire A– Keep It BurniBng Bright”

Chorus
Oh, The EFlame They Could Not Quench, It’s AAlive In Me ETonight
In Every Whispered Prayer And Every C#mRebel ASong AtB Night
Through The EDark And Through The Storm, Through TheA Tears We NeveC#mr Show
Oh, The EFlame They Could NotC#m Quench Is TheA OnlBy Truth EWe Know
Yeah It EBurns, Yeah It Burns, In TheA Heart, In ThEe Skies
Still C#mBurning, Still EBurninBg In IrisEh Eyes

Verse 2
They Tried To EWipe The Old Names Clean,A Tried To Still ThEe Tongue
Shut The Doors, Killed The Lights WhenC#mever ASongsE WerBe Sung
But Every EDawn On Donegal BrokeA Sharp Against ThEe Gray
And Lit A Spark In Every Soul They BNever TookE Away
You Can C#mChain The Hands, You Can AClaim TheE Land
But You’ll Never Take The Fire From A C#mPeople Who BStand

Chorus
Oh, The EFlame They Could Not Quench, It’s AAlive In Me ETonight
In Every Whispered Prayer And Every C#mRebel ASong AtB Night
Through The EDark And Through The Storm, Through TheA Tears We NeveC#mr Show
Oh, The EFlame They Could NotC#m Quench Is TheA OnlBy Truth EWe Know
Yeah It EBurns, Yeah It Burns, In TheA Heart, In ThEe Skies
Still C#mBurning, Still EBurninBg In IrisEh Eyes

Bridge
Now I AStand Where The Hawthorn Bends In TheE Cold October Air
And I C#mFeel That Same Old Current Like A APulse That’s AlwaysB There
And The EChildren Ask What It All Means, IA Smile And Tell TheC#mm Play
It’s ENot Just Ours, It’sC#m Yours ToE HolBd, And Never LosEe Again

Verse 3
When The EWind Cuts Through And The Night Runs Long, And TheA Silence Feels ToEo Deep
I Hear The Drums In The Frozen C#mGround, I Hear The APast Beneath MyB Feet
And It ERises Up Like A Battle Cry From TheA Ash And From ThC#me Clay
You Can EBend, You Can Break, But You Won’t Erase What WasB Never Yours TEo Take

Chorus 3
Oh, The EFlame They Could Not Quench, Now It’sA Roaring Through ThEe Years
In The Laughter And The Scars And In The AUnC#mshed BTears
Through The EDark And Through The Storm, Through TheA Blood And Through ThC#me Snow
Oh, The EFlame They Could NotC#m Quench Is TheB Reason That WEe Grow
Yeah It EBurns, Yeah It Burns, Let TheA Whole World See IC#mt Rise
Still EBurning, StillC#m BurningB In IrisEh EyC#mes
Still EBurninC#mg, StillE BurniC#mng.  ThBe Flame They Could NEot QueC#mnch E​
