[00:04.00] Hello darkness, my old friend

[00:08.19] I've come to talk with you again

[00:12.12] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:16.94] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:21.47] And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:27.74] Still remains

[00:31.16] Within the sound of silence

[00:37.96] In restless dreams I walked alone

[00:42.51] Narrow streets of cobblestone

[00:47.04] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp

[00:51.29] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[00:55.80] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[01:02.64] That split the night

[01:06.33] And touched the sound of silence

[01:12.31] And in the naked light I saw

[01:16.50] Ten thousand people, maybe more

[01:21.29] People talking without speaking

[01:25.83] People hearing without listening

[01:30.37] People writing songs that voices never share

[01:38.03] No one dared

[01:40.87] Disturb the sound of silence

[01:47.38] "Fools" said I, "You do not know

[01:51.61] Silence like a cancer grows

[01:55.84] Hear my words that I might teach you

[02:00.40] Take my arms that I might reach you"

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

[02:14.38] And echoed in the wells of silence

[02:21.64] And the people bowed and prayed

[02:25.90] To the neon god they made

[02:30.16] And the sign flashed out its warning

[02:34.71] In the words that it was forming

[02:38.99] And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

[02:42.12] Are written on the subway walls

[02:46.96] And tenement halls

[02:50.09] And whispered in the sounds of silence"
