Lyrics

[00:06.98] Hello darkness, my old friend
[00:12.92] I've come to talk with you again
[00:18.88] Because a vision softly creeping
[00:25.30] Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[00:31.30] And the vision that was planted in my brain
[00:41.05] Still remains
[00:44.20] Within the sound of silence
[00:52.44] In restless dreams I walked alone
[00:58.43] Narrow streets of cobblestone
[01:04.39] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp
[01:11.10] I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[01:17.01] When my eyes were stabbed by
[01:21.33] The flash of a neon light
[01:27.00] That split the night
[01:29.80] And touched the sound of silence
[01:37.52] And in the naked light I saw
[01:43.08] Ten thousand people, maybe more
[01:49.79] People talking without speaking
[01:56.24] People hearing without listening
[02:03.04] People writing songs that voices never share
[02:11.42] And no one dared
[02:15.27] Disturb the sound of silence
[02:23.08] "Fools", said I, "You do not know
[02:28.14] Silence like a cancer grows
[02:35.00] Hear my words that I might teach you
[02:41.35] Take my arms that I might reach you"
[02:48.11] But my words, like silent raindrops fell
[03:00.30] And echoed
[03:03.74] In the wells of silence
[03:11.30] And the people bowed and prayed
[03:17.01] To the neon god they made
[03:23.07] And the sign flashed out its warning
[03:30.16] In the words that it was forming
[03:35.27] And the sign said:
[03:38.52] The words of the prophets are
[03:41.61] Written on the subway walls
[03:47.14] And tenement halls
[03:52.13] And whispered in the sound of silence
