The sound of silence

[00:04.08] Hello darkness, my old friend

[00:08.63] I've come to talk with you again

[00:13.40] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:18.50] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:23.82] And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains

[00:34.89] Within the sound of silence

[00:41.43] In restless dreams I walked alone

[00:46.22] Narrow streets of Cobblestone

[00:51.53] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp

[00:56.31] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[01:01.34] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[01:08.66] That split the night

[01:12.71] And touched the sound of silence

[01:19.35] And in the naked light, I saw

[01:24.14] 10, 000 people, maybe more

[01:29.47] People talking without speaking

[01:34.53] People hearing without listening

[01:39.35] People writing songs that voices never share and no one dared

[01:51.77] Disturb the sound of silence

[01:58.59] "Fools", said I, "You do not know

[02:03.15] Silence like a cancer grows

[02:08.49] Hear my words that I might teach you

[02:13.51] Take my arms that I might reach you"

[02:18.84] But my words, like silent raindrops fell

[02:29.71] And echoed in the walls of silence

[02:37.74] And the people bowed and prayed

[02:42.54] To the neon god they made

[02:47.82] And the sign flashed out its warning

[02:52.88] In the words that it was forming

[02:58.15] And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

[03:06.71] And tenement halls

[03:10.25] And whispered in the sound of silence"
