Where can I find the lyrics to Blade of the Ruined King (which is NOT an instrumental)?

This was already in the title but I'm going to stress it again here: Blade of the Ruined King is not, strictly speaking, an instrumental. I know ominous chanting when I hear it and this song is chock-full of the stuff. The actual language of the chanting could be anything from Latin to gibberish, but I KNOW I heard the word "Noxus" in the song at least twice.

The problem is that whenever I try to look up the lyrics, multiple lyrics websites "helpfully" inform me that the song is an instrumental. Does anyone know if Riot ever published the lyrics?

I don't think riot ever published the lyrics, as even the original site for the album lists it as an "instrumental". Now, you might've actually heard "Noxus", but I feel like you misheard it - brain likes to do stuff like that when trying to decipher unclear speech - and that the choir is gibberish (if it in fact had lyrics, I think someone would mention that at some point). But hey, maybe it actually has lyrics - like the Urgot login... in which case I join in on the question. I'd love to hear what it says.

around 1:40 you can really hear "Noxus" and around 2:40 too*[sg-lux-2]*
