Glory in Grey

I’ve been low,

I’ve been hushed.

I’ve been hollow.

Now I shine from the dark

like there’s no tomorrow.

We might seem scattered,

But it’s better to be bold;

To scream out loud,

Than to grow staid and old.

[Pre-chorus, 1st time]

Ruins to shrines, you can’t dull my shine.

Dare to flare, I’m doing just fine.

[Chorus, 1st time]

From the ashes rise green blades,

As we grow wise in grey age.

Some storms never fade.

In the ruins we may pray

Life is born from decay

I’m golden in grey.

When all has burned down, 

Green blades rise.

When you hit rock bottom,

Moss claims the stone.

[Bridge]

I am the light 

in the temple of shadows,

I am the knight

In the chapel of echoes.

[Pre-chorus, 2nd time]

Ruins to shrines, you can’t dull my shine.

Dare to flare, I’m doing just fine.

[Chorus, 2nd time]

From the ashes rise green blades,

As we grow wise in grey age.

Some storms never fade.

In the ruins we may pray

Life is born from decay

I’m golden in grey.

[Instrumental Break]

Torch in the cave, I light the maze.

Set the labyrinth ablaze.

[Pre-chorus, 3rd time]

Ruins to shrines, you can’t dull my shine.

Dare to flare, I’m doing just fine.

[Chorus, 3rd time]

From the ashes rise green blades,

As I grow wise in grey age,

My storms never fade.

In my ruins I will pray,

Life is born from decay

I’m glory in grey.

When all has burned down, 

Green blades rise.

When you hit rock bottom,

Moss claims the stone.

My light lives where shadows grow,

Under the cairn, I start to glow.

[Outro]

Ruins to shrines,

We’re doing just fine.

Rising today,

We’re glory in grey.

(Ruins to shrines,

We’re doing just fine.)

Ruins to shrines,

We’re fine, just fine.

We’re rising today – rising today,

We’re glory in grey.

I’m glory in grey.
