90_-_SOUNDS_OF_SILENCE

[00:01.33] Hello darkness, my old friend

[00:04.07] I've come to talk with you again

[00:08.08] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:13.08] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:17.33] And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:24.08] Still remains

[00:27.58] Within the sound of silence

[00:33.34] In restless dreams I walked alone

[00:38.36] Narrow streets of cobblestone

[00:42.58] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp

[00:47.33] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[00:51.83] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[00:58.34] That split the night

[01:01.32] And touched the sound of silence

[01:08.59] And in the naked light I saw

[01:12.58] Ten thousand people, maybe more

[01:16.58] People talking without speaking

[01:21.82] People hearing without listening

[01:26.08] People writing songs that voices never share

[01:33.58] And no one dared

[01:36.08] Disturb the sound of silence

[01:42.58] "Fools, " said I, "You do not know

[01:47.33] Silence, like a cancer, grows

[01:51.33] Hear my words that I might teach you

[01:55.84] Take my arms that I might reach you"

[02:00.33] But my words, like silent raindrops fell

[02:09.08] And echoed in the wells, of silence

[02:17.33] And the people bowed and prayed

[02:21.83] To the neon god they made

[02:26.08] And the sign flashed out its warning

[02:30.59] In the words that it was forming

[02:34.83] And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

[02:42.35] And tenement halls"

[02:44.84] And whispered in the sounds of silence
