The Sound Of Silence

[00:02.93] Hello darkness, my old friend

[00:06.37] I've come to talk with you again

[00:10.89] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:14.88] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:19.66] And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:26.57] Still remains

[00:31.08] Within the sound of silence

[00:36.12] In restless dreams I walked alone

[00:39.84] Narrow streets of cobblestone

[00:43.03] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp

[00:50.21] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[00:54.99] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[01:01.36] That split the night

[01:05.34] And touched the sound of silence

[01:10.12] And in the naked light I saw

[01:15.17] Ten thousand people, maybe more

[01:19.68] People talking without speaking

[01:24.47] People hearing without listening

[01:29.25] People writing songs that voices never share

[01:36.43] No one dared

[01:40.40] Disturb the sound of silence

[01:44.92] "Fools" said I, "You do not know

[01:49.70] Silence like a cancer grows

[01:54.22] Hear my words that I might teach you

[01:58.73] Take my arms that I might reach you"

[02:02.19] But my words like silent raindrops fell

[02:08.83] And echoed in the wells of silence

[02:20.25] And the people bowed and prayed

[02:24.76] To the neon god they made

[02:27.96] And the sign flashed out its warning

[02:32.73] In the words that it was forming

[02:37.25] And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

[02:41.50] Are written on the subway walls

[02:44.16] And tenement halls

[02:47.07] And whispered in the sounds of silence"
