"The Sound of Silence"

[00:03.97] Hello, darkness, my old friend

[00:08.48] I've come to talk with you again

[00:13.00] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:17.78] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:22.31] And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:28.95] Still remains

[00:32.14] Within the sound of silence

[00:37.99] In restless dreams, I walked alone

[00:43.04] Narrow streets of cobblestone

[00:47.28] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp

[00:51.58] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[00:56.63] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[01:03.27] That split the night

[01:06.49] And touched the sound of silence

[01:12.34] And in the naked light, I saw

[01:16.85] Ten thousand people, maybe more

[01:21.37] People talking without speaking

[01:25.88] People hearing without listening

[01:30.40] People writing songs that voices never shared

[01:38.10] And no one dared

[01:41.29] Disturb the sound of silence

[01:47.13] "Fools," said I, "You do not know

[01:51.65] Silence, like a cancer, grows

[01:55.90] Hear my words that I might teach you

[02:00.42] Take my arms that I might reach you"

[02:04.95] But my words, like silent raindrops, fell

[02:14.25] And echoed in the wells of silence

[02:21.41] And the people bowed and prayed

[02:25.93] To the neon god they made

[02:30.18] And the sign flashed out its warning

[02:34.70] In the words that it was forming

[02:38.95] And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

[02:46.65] And tenement halls

[02:49.57] And whispered in the sound of silence"
