The music never played again
The piano collected dirt and dust
Where fingers had once serenaded the masses
Empty seats now lay covered in rust
Once opulent walls were all faded
Curtains hung from threads now bare
Rugs that silenced the feet of the rich
Laid stained with the history once there
The wind whistled through broken panes
Made to contain the roar from within
The aged lady had been so grand
Built to survive the ages and more
Modern times had ended her existence
Portending the future that lay in store
The shrill of a whistle was the last musical note
No fans to hear the mortal song
The wrecking ball played a final symphony
Another time and place to be gone
