[Verse]

Galway tombstone whispers deep

Pints and prayers while secrets seep

The church bell rings but it’s off key

You can’t believe but you simply see

[Chorus]

Violence is an Irish creed

Hope’s a seed

It fights to breathe

You never lose the fight inside

But you might lose the tears you hide

[Verse 2]

Rain on cobblestones soaks your shoes

Echoed songs in the evening hues

A ghost of love

A fleeting flame

You chase the warmth but it won’t remain

[Prechorus]

Every street’s a story

Every name’s a scar

[Chorus]

Violence is an Irish creed

Hope’s a seed

It fights to bleed

You never lose the fight inside

But you might lose the tears you hide

[Bridge]

A pint to forget

A prayer to recall

A punch thrown in anger

A hand to catch the fall

The weight of the land

It pulls and it sways

But hope’s in the cracks where the light still plays
