Sounds of silence

[00:01.05] "The Sound Of Silence"

[00:04.06] Hello, darkness, my old friend

[00:08.30] I've come to talk with you again

[00:13.28] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:17.54] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:22.29] And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:29.29] Still remains

[00:32.78] Within the sound of silence

[00:38.28] In restless dreams I walked alone

[00:42.79] Narrow streets of cobblestone

[00:47.78] 'Neath the halo of a streetlamp

[00:52.05] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[00:56.79] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[01:03.54] That split the night

[01:07.04] And touched the sound of silence

[01:12.57] And in the naked light I saw

[01:17.28] Ten thousand people, maybe more

[01:22.03] People talking without speaking

[01:26.28] People hearing without listening

[01:31.03] People writing songs that voices never share

[01:39.28] No one dared

[01:42.53] Disturb the sound of silence

[01:48.03] "Fools," said I, "You do not know

[01:52.78] Silence like a cancer grows

[01:57.30] Hear my words that I might teach you

[02:02.03] Take my arms that I might reach you."

[02:06.54] But my words like silent raindrops fell

[02:18.29] And echoed in the wells of silence

[02:23.55] And the people bowed and prayed

[02:28.28] To the neon god they made

[02:33.03] And the sign flashed out its warning

[02:37.53] In the words that it was forming

[02:42.54] And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

[02:46.03] Are written on the subway walls

[02:50.03] And tenement halls

[02:54.53] And whispered in the sounds of silence."
