The Quiet War (An Cogadh Ciúin)

So I took a house above the water
Two rooms and a stubborn door
Planted something in the spring
And I didn't ask what for

The blade's above the fireplace
It hasn't asked me for a thing
Turns out the hardest war I fought
Was the one that made no sound

And I'm still here
And I'm still here

The quiet war (an cogadh ciúin)
Nobody sings about this one
The quiet war (an cogadh ciúin)
And I'm the one that won

Say the names, say them slow
Aoife, Ronan, all of them
(Ár, ár, ár)
And then say mine

The quiet war (an cogadh ciúin)
Nobody sings about this one
The quiet war (an cogadh ciúin)
And I'm the one that won

Bua (bua, bua)
