Thirty years after the silence
Thirty years beneath the dust
The towers fell into the darkness
Steel decayed to rust and smoke
No more voices in the static
No more signals on the horizon
Only forgotten constellations
Watching time drift far away
⸻
The highways have all vanished
Beneath forests of moss and stone
Nature swallowed every scar
That we once left behind
Vines are growing over satellites
That haven’t seen the sky for years
And memories keep growing fainter
Until they finally disappear
The neon light became a legend
A story from another age
Children hear of lost cities
Like myths of eternity
⸻
And somewhere in all the silence
Beyond decay and endless night
A light still burns against the darkness
That never truly dies
⸻
Beyond the ruins
Beyond the years
Beyond the echoes of our fear
Shines the last light
Through the endless night
Like a fire that still survives
Beyond the ruins
The darkness bends
Where broken worlds begin again
⸻
I found an old transmitter
Buried beneath steel and stone
Its shattered screen was showing
One final message in the glow
The letters flickered in the darkness
Like ghosts from long-forgotten days
“If anyone can hear this signal…
Never forget who we once were.”
⸻
No signal…
No future…
That’s what the old machines believed
But even silence
Has a heartbeat
Deep beneath the ruins
⸻
Beyond the ruins
Beyond the years
Beyond the shadows fading away
Shines the last light
Through the endless night
Like a star that never falls
Beyond the ruins
A new world grows
From everything we once had lost
⸻
The cities vanished…
The signals died…
But somewhere beyond the ruins…
A light still burns…
