Verse I (soft, acoustic, mournful) Beneath the boughs of emerald trees, They sang to stars, they danced with breeze. But now their voices fade with time, The last song lost, a broken rhyme. Pre-Chorus (rising, gentle harmonies) Through ages long their wisdom shone, Now shadows claim what once had grown. Chorus (epic, Blind Guardian–style choirs) The Emerald Elves, their voices call, A fading song, the end of all. Through forest deep their echoes stay, The Emerald Elves must fade away. Verse II (acoustic with subtle orchestral build) Their silver halls are wrapped in moss, A crown of light, a crown of loss. The rivers weep, the branches sigh, The elves of emerald say goodbye. Pre-Chorus (layered harmonies) Their magic wanes, their time is done, The forest weeps, the stars are gone. Chorus (full choir, soaring and mournful) The Emerald Elves, their voices call, A fading song, the end of all. Through forest deep their echoes stay, The Emerald Elves must fade away. Bridge (soft Merrigan-style interlude) Sing once more, O voices fair, Guide us through the twilight air. Though shadows fall, though light may die, Your memory shall never lie. Final Chorus (choir at full power, emotional climax) The Emerald Elves, their voices call, A fading song, the end of all. Through endless time their cry shall stay, Though Emerald Elves must fade away. Outro (whispered, soft acoustic) And in the wind, their song remains… A haunting hymn through forest veins.
