The tunnels swallowed every city.<br />Rusted rails forgot their names.<br />No voices crossed the broken stations,<br />Only water, dust and flames.<br /><br />One survivor climbed the platform,<br />Searching for a spark below.<br />Deep inside an abandoned carriage,<br />Something waited in the glow.<br /><br />One old battery still breathing.<br />One dim lamp refused to fade.<br />Stacks of records stood in silence,<br />Patient through the years they stayed.<br /><br />Chuck Berry broke the silence first.<br />Bo Diddley answered with his beat.<br />Little Richard set the carriage shaking.<br />Elvis rose with steady feet.<br /><br />Outside slept a lifeless planet.<br />Steel and concrete turned to stone.<br />Inside spun a black disc slowly.<br />The train was not alone.<br /><br />No presidents.<br />No prophets.<br />No flags remained to wave.<br />Only Rock 'n' Roll Still roaring <br />Through mankind's forgotten grave.<br /><br />No empires. <br />No armies. <br />No monuments to recall.<br />Only Rock 'n' Roll.<br />It outlived them all.<br /><br />Buildings crumbled into gravel.<br />Forests claimed the streets once more.<br />Oceans crossed forgotten highways.<br />Cities vanished from the shore.<br /><br />Every anthem lost its meaning.<br />Every scripture lost its throne.<br />Every language turned to fossils.<br />Every kingdom turned to bone.<br /><br />Dust lay thick upon the turntable.<br />Yet the stylus found its line.<br />Every scratch became a heartbeat.<br />Every crack preserved its time.<br /><br />Buddy Holly joined the chorus.<br />Jerry Lee set fire again.<br />The dead returned without their bodies.<br />Only music filled the train.<br /><br />No one left to buy a ticket.<br />Dark platforms held their breath.<br />Ancient echoes rode the tunnels,<br />Where even death had lost its claim.<br /><br />The earth became a silent archive.<br />Cold beneath an empty sky.<br />Yet inside that lonely carriage,<br />Rock refused to die.<br /><br />The final train <br />Never carried <br />Kings or crowns.<br />No fortunes. <br />No banners. <br />No saints renowned.<br />It carried voices <br />Pressed in vinyl. <br />Forty-five and thirty-three.<br />When every nation disappeared...<br />Rock 'n' Roll <br />Remembered humanity.<br />And when the final battery <br />Breathed its final spark...<br />The world went dark.<br />The music didn't.<br /><br /><br />✓✓ composição de 👇🏻<br />Astrikos Katoikos <br />Copyright ©️ 2022<br />Todos os Direitos Reservados<br /><br />#astrikoskatoikos #punkrock #rocknroll #hardrock
