Neon Ashes Of Las Vegas

The neon flickers like a dying prayer,
Echoes of laughter dissolve in the air.
Arcades burning with a phantom glow,
The city sings while the shadows grow.

Pre-Chorus
Dice still roll in the ruins of chance,
Ghosts of dancers begin their last dance.
Trumpets wail in a minor key,
A requiem for what used to be.

Chorus
Neon ashes of Las Vegas,
A kingdom built on smoke and sand.
Bright illusions couldn’t save us,
Now the desert takes its stand.
Through the fire, through the haze,
I walk alone in neon graves.

Verse II
Roulette wheels spin in broken time,
Jackpot bells ring without a chime.
Every screen bleeds a crimson light,
The end was scripted in black and white.

Bridge (jazz/prog fusion)
Polyrhythms crack like thunder,
Saxophones cry while the tables go under.
Strings collide in dissonant rage,
An opera unfolds on a burning stage.

Chorus
Neon ashes of Las Vegas,
A requiem beneath the flame.
Every fortune falls to silence,
Every gambler has no name.
Through the ruins, through the blaze,
I’m just a shadow in neon graves.

Finale (symphonic/operatic crescendo)
Choirs rise like a storm in the sky,
Cards fall down, and the dice never lie.
The Strip is drowning in crimson seas,
But the lights still whisper eternities…

Outro (whispered)
“Vegas still glows…
In the ruins of tomorrow.”
