The sound of silence

[00:04.66] Hello darkness, my old friend

[00:08.91] I've come to talk with you again

[00:13.43] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:18.21] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:22.72] And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:29.36] Still remains

[00:32.55] Within the sound of silence

[00:38.13] In restless dreams I walked along

[00:42.91] Narrow streets of cobblestone

[00:47.16] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp

[00:51.41] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[00:56.19] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[01:02.83] That split the night

[01:06.02] And touched the sound of silence

[01:11.60] And in the naked light I saw

[01:16.11] Ten thousand people, maybe more

[01:20.90] People talking without speaking

[01:25.41] People hearing without listening

[01:29.93] People writing songs that voices never shared

[01:37.36] And no one dared

[01:40.82] Disturb the sound of silence

[01:46.88] Fools said I, You do not know

[01:51.13] Silence like a cancer grows

[01:55.65] Hear my words that I might teach you

[02:00.16] Take my arms that I might reach you

[02:04.67] But my words, like silent raindrops fell

[02:13.96] And echoed in the wells of silence

[02:21.67] And the people bowed and prayed

[02:25.92] To the neon god they made

[02:30.43] And the sign flashed out its warning

[02:34.95] In the words that it was forming

[02:39.46] Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets

[02:42.65] are written on the subway walls

[02:46.90] In tenement halls"

[02:49.82] And whispered in the sound of silence
