The Sound Of Silence

[00:03.11] Hello darkness, my old friend

[00:06.49] I′ve come to talk with you again

[00:10.71] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:15.80] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:20.30] And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:27.05] Still remains

[00:30.15] Within the sound of silence

[00:35.78] In restless dreams, I walked alone

[00:40.57] Narrow streets of cobblestone

[00:44.79] 'Neath the halo of a streetlamp

[00:49.87] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[00:54.38] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[01:01.14] That split the night

[01:03.96] And touched the sound of silence

[01:10.15] And in the naked light, I saw

[01:15.23] Ten thousand people, maybe more

[01:19.45] People talking without speaking

[01:24.24] People hearing without listening

[01:28.74] People writing songs that voices never shared

[01:36.35] No one dared

[01:39.45] Disturb the sound of silence

[01:45.09] "Fools", said I, "You do not know

[01:49.87] Silence like a cancer grows

[01:54.66] Hear my words that I might teach you

[01:58.60] Take my arms that I might reach you"

[02:02.83] But my words like silent raindrops fell

[02:09.59] And echoed in the wells of silence

[02:19.16] And the people bowed and prayed

[02:24.79] To the neon god they made

[02:29.02] And the sign flashed out its warning

[02:32.96] In the words that it was forming

[02:37.46] And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

[02:44.79] In tenement halls"

[02:47.89] And whispered in the sounds of silence
