[Intro]
Grey leaves falling
No birds calling
Noctaryn is dying
Noctaryn is crying

[Verse]
They woke beneath a sunless bough
Where leaves were pale as bone
The trees stood like forgotten kings
Upon a silent throne
No flower dared to lift its face
No river dared to run
And all the air was cold with grief
Beneath a murdered sun

[Pre-Chorus]
Arian heard a distant chime
Like stars beneath the ground
Lyssara placed her hand on ash
And trembled at the sound

[Chorus]
In the Grey Forests of Noctaryn
The light has lost its way
Dreams are chained in root and thorn
And dragons sleep in grey
In the Grey Forests of Noctaryn
We swear the night will learn
That hope can blaze through deadened leaves
And make the heavens burn

[Verse]
They found a dragon vast and still
With moss upon his wings
His breath no longer kissed the world
His claws held broken rings
Calyra knelt beside his head
And laid down sword and pride
For in his dreams the stolen crown
Was hidden, locked inside

[Pre-Chorus]
The forest showed a tower black
A thief with hollow eyes
A crown of stars in shadowed hands
A wound across the skies

[Chorus]
In the Grey Forests of Noctaryn
The light has lost its way
Dreams are chained in root and thorn
And dragons sleep in grey
In the Grey Forests of Noctaryn
We swear the night will learn
That hope can blaze through deadened leaves
And make the heavens burn

[Instrumental]
Mmm-ah
Mmm-ah
Ash to ember, night remember
Mmm-ah

[Bridge]
What is a kingdom without song?
What is a sky without flame?
What is a heart that sees the end
And refuses to speak hope’s name?

[Breakdown]
Grey root
Black thorn
Dead light
No dawn
But one spark
Still stays
One song
Still prays

[Build-up]
Wake, old fire
Wake, old tree
Wake the stars
Buried deep

[Chorus]
In the Grey Forests of Noctaryn
The light has lost its way
Dreams are chained in root and thorn
And dragons sleep in grey
In the Grey Forests of Noctaryn
We swear the night will learn
That hope can blaze through deadened leaves
And make the heavens burn

[Chorus]
In the Grey Forests of Noctaryn
The light has lost its way
Dreams are chained in root and thorn
And dragons sleep in grey
In the Grey Forests of Noctaryn
We swear the night will learn
That hope can blaze through deadened leaves
And make the heavens burn

[Outro]
The forest opened one black path
Where no moon dared to climb
And far away the stolen crown
Was counting down the time
