Verse 1
AThe Rain Fell Soft On The Turf Stack Wall, Where MyD Grandfather WoulAd Stand
With A AMatch Held Low And A Story Told Of ThisF#m Battered, StubbornE Land
He ASpoke Of Ghosts In The Risin’ Smoke, OfD Footsteps In ThAe Rain
Of Quiet Men With A Burning Oath They ECarried Through TheA Pain
And I Still F#mHear His Voice In The DWind AtA Night, Sayin’ “Hold That Fire D– Keep It BurniEng Bright”

Chorus
Oh, The AFlame They Could Not Quench, It’s DAlive In Me ATonight
In Every Whispered Prayer And Every F#mRebel DSong AtE Night
Through The ADark And Through The Storm, Through TheD Tears We NeveF#mr Show
Oh, The AFlame They Could NotF#m Quench Is TheD OnlEy Truth AWe Know
Yeah It ABurns, Yeah It Burns, In TheD Heart, In ThAe Skies
Still F#mBurning, Still ABurninEg In IrisAh Eyes

Verse 2
They Tried To AWipe The Old Names Clean,D Tried To Still ThAe Tongue
Shut The Doors, Killed The Lights WhenF#mever DSongsA WerEe Sung
But Every ADawn On Donegal BrokeD Sharp Against ThAe Gray
And Lit A Spark In Every Soul They ENever TookA Away
You Can F#mChain The Hands, You Can DClaim TheA Land
But You’ll Never Take The Fire From A F#mPeople Who EStand

Chorus
Oh, The AFlame They Could Not Quench, It’s DAlive In Me ATonight
In Every Whispered Prayer And Every F#mRebel DSong AtE Night
Through The ADark And Through The Storm, Through TheD Tears We NeveF#mr Show
Oh, The AFlame They Could NotF#m Quench Is TheD OnlEy Truth AWe Know
Yeah It ABurns, Yeah It Burns, In TheD Heart, In ThAe Skies
Still F#mBurning, Still ABurninEg In IrisAh Eyes

Bridge
Now I DStand Where The Hawthorn Bends In TheA Cold October Air
And I F#mFeel That Same Old Current Like A DPulse That’s AlwaysE There
And The AChildren Ask What It All Means, ID Smile And Tell TheF#mm Play
It’s ANot Just Ours, It’sF#m Yours ToA HolEd, And Never LosAe Again

Verse 3
When The AWind Cuts Through And The Night Runs Long, And TheD Silence Feels ToAo Deep
I Hear The Drums In The Frozen F#mGround, I Hear The DPast Beneath MyE Feet
And It ARises Up Like A Battle Cry From TheD Ash And From ThF#me Clay
You Can ABend, You Can Break, But You Won’t Erase What WasE Never Yours TAo Take

Chorus 3
Oh, The AFlame They Could Not Quench, Now It’sD Roaring Through ThAe Years
In The Laughter And The Scars And In The DUnF#mshed ETears
Through The ADark And Through The Storm, Through TheD Blood And Through ThF#me Snow
Oh, The AFlame They Could NotF#m Quench Is TheE Reason That WAe Grow
Yeah It ABurns, Yeah It Burns, Let TheD Whole World See IF#mt Rise
Still ABurning, StillF#m BurningE In IrisAh EyF#mes
Still ABurninF#mg, StillA BurniF#mng.  ThEe Flame They Could NAot QueF#mnch A​
