[Verse]
The rivers run with whispers
Through lanes of stone and clay
Old Dublin town's a fortress
Where hearts and hopes must stay
If voices rise in protest
Let iron answer back
No more the English gentry shall tread upon our track
[Verse 2]
From mountains cold and distant
To streets where children play
The spirit of our fathers
Won’t let the city sway
Their hands built bridges sturdy
Their voices filled the air
Now we defend their legacy; injustice we won't bear
[Chorus]
Keep Dublin strong and standing
No invader at our door
The pride of Eire blazing
Like it never has before
Raise arms with iron courage
Hearts fierce and cries aloud
We'll burn the gates to ashes if foreign footsteps crowd
[Verse 3]
The moon she watches nightly
As shadows prowl and creep
But Dublin’s sons and daughters
In steadfast vigil keep
The fiddles cry for freedom
The bodhran beats the call
No king nor queen of foreign lands shall ever make us crawl
[Bridge]
One road leads to glory
Another to despair
Choose well
My friend
For Dublin
And guard it with a prayer
The English may be lords elsewhere
But here they’ll find no peace
We'll stand and fight for freedom 'til the chains of old release
[Chorus]
Keep Dublin strong and standing
No invader at our door
The pride of Eire blazing
Like it never has before
Raise arms with iron courage
Hearts fierce and cries aloud
We'll burn the gates to ashes if foreign footsteps crowd
