City's heart, shadows creep Society crumbles, silence deep Concrete towers, monuments of decay Deterioration, grim stray Neon dreams flicker in a fractured dark night Hollow faces lost in the artificial light The echoes of laughter replaced by the hum of machines Dwelling in the virtual sea, society's demise, entropy Witness the fall of the societal hymn Ruins of progress, lights grow dim Decay's embrace, relentless tide Corridors of despair, hope has died Concrete veins pulsating with decay In the city's heart the nightmares in play Whispers of rebellion, voices weak In the hallowed halls power speaks The fabric unravels the social thread Deterioration, silent dread
