the sound of silence

[00:01.42] By : Muhammad Faiz M.P.H

[00:03.68] Hello darkness, my old friend

[00:07.94] I've come to talk with you again

[00:11.96] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:16.97] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:21.42] And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:27.94] Still remains

[00:31.15] Within the sound of silence

[00:37.72] In restless dreams I walked alone

[00:42.18] Narrow streets of cobblestone

[00:46.16] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp

[00:51.17] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[00:55.65] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[01:02.43] That split the night

[01:06.22] And touched the sound of silence

[01:11.97] And in the naked light, I saw

[01:15.91] Ten thousand people, maybe more

[01:20.42] People talking without speaking

[01:25.16] People hearing without listening

[01:29.66] People writing songs that voices never share

[01:36.93] And no one dared

[01:40.95] Disturb the sound of silence

[01:46.70] "Fools", said I, "You do not know

[01:50.93] Silence like a cancer grows

[01:55.41] Hear my words that I might teach you

[01:59.92] Take my arms that I might reach you"

[02:04.18] But my words, like silent raindrops fell

[02:13.41] And echoed

[02:16.35] In the wells of silence

[02:21.47] And the people bowed and prayed

[02:25.16] To the neon god they made

[02:29.43] And the sign flashed out its warning

[02:33.98] In the words that it was forming

[02:38.71] And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

[02:45.90] And tenement halls"

[02:49.41] And whispered in the sound of silence
