Verse 1
GThe Rain Fell Soft On The Turf Stack Wall, Where MyC Grandfather WoulGd Stand
With A GMatch Held Low And A Story Told Of ThisEm Battered, StubborDn Land
He GSpoke Of Ghosts In The Risin’ Smoke, OfC Footsteps In ThGe Rain
Of Quiet Men With A Burning Oath They DCarried Through TheG Pain
And I Still EmHear His Voice In TheC Wind AGt Night, Sayin’ “Hold That FireC – Keep It BurnDing Bright”

Chorus
Oh, The GFlame They Could Not Quench, It’s CAlive In Me GTonight
In Every Whispered Prayer And Every EmRebelC Song ADt Night
Through The GDark And Through The Storm, Through TheC Tears We NeveEmr Show
Oh, The GFlame They Could NotEm Quench Is ThCe OnDly TruthG We Know
Yeah It GBurns, Yeah It Burns, In TheC Heart, In ThGe Skies
Still EmBurning, StillG BurniDng In IriGsh Eyes

Verse 2
They Tried To GWipe The Old Names Clean,C Tried To Still ThGe Tongue
Shut The Doors, Killed The Lights WhenEmeverC SongGs WeDre Sung
But Every GDawn On Donegal BrokeC Sharp Against ThGe Gray
And Lit A Spark In Every Soul They DNever TookG Away
You Can EmChain The Hands, You CanC Claim ThGe Land
But You’ll Never Take The Fire From A EmPeople WhoD Stand

Chorus
Oh, The GFlame They Could Not Quench, It’s CAlive In Me GTonight
In Every Whispered Prayer And Every EmRebelC Song ADt Night

Now I CStand Where The Hawthorn Bends In TheG Cold October Air
And I EmFeel That Same Old Current Like AC Pulse That’s AlwayDs There
And The GChildren Ask What It All Means, IC Smile And Tell TheEmm Play
It’s GNot Just Ours, It’sEm Yours TGo HoDld, And Never LoGse Again

Verse 3
When The GWind Cuts Through And The Night Runs Long, And TheC Silence Feels ToGo Deep
I Hear The Drums In The Frozen EmGround, I Hear TheC Past Beneath MDy Feet
And It GRises Up Like A Battle Cry From TheC Ash And From ThEme Clay
You Can GBend, You Can Break, But You Won’t Erase What WasD Never Yours TGo Take

Oh, The GFlame They Could Not Quench, Now It’sC Roaring Through ThGe Years
In The Laughter And The Scars And In The CUnEmshedD Tears
Through The GDark And Through The Storm, Through TheC Blood And Through ThEme Snow
Oh, The GFlame They Could NotEm Quench Is ThDe Reason That GWe Grow
Yeah It GBurns, Yeah It Burns, Let TheC Whole World See IEmt Rise
Still GBurning, StillEm BurninDg In IriGsh EEmyes
