Hello, darkness my old friend |
| [00:20.68] |
I've come to talk with you again |
| [00:23.48] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:29.33] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
| [00:33.79] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [00:40.69] |
still remains |
| [00:45.04] |
Within the sound of silence, silence |
| [00:55.02] |
In restless dreams, I walked alone |
| [00:59.66] |
narrow streets of cobblestone |
| [01:03.85] |
'Neath the halo of a street lamp |
| [01:08.85] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [01:13.25] |
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light |
| [01:19.88] |
That split the night |
| [01:23.56] |
and touched the sound of silence |
| [01:29.73] |
And in the naked light I saw |
| [01:33.81] |
ten thousand people, maybe more |
| [01:38.92] |
People talking without speaking |
| [01:43.66] |
people hearing without listening |
| [01:47.86] |
People writing songs that voices never shared |
| [01:55.97] |
and no one dared |
| [01:59.72] |
Disturb the sound of silence, silence |
| [02:10.52] |
'Fools' said I 'You do not know |
| [02:14.49] |
silence like a cancer grows |
| [02:19.24] |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
| [02:23.93] |
Take my arms that I might reach you |
| [02:28.62] |
But my words like silent raindrops fell |
| [02:36.49] |
And echoed in the wells of silence |
| [02:46.45] |
the silence |
| [02:49.20] |
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made |
| [02:58.68] |
And the sign flashed out its warning |
| [03:03.33] |
in the words that it was forming |
| [03:07.67] |
And the sign said the words of the prophets |
| [03:11.49] |
Are written on the subway walls |
| [03:15.43] |
and tenement halls and whispered |
| [03:19.97] |
And whispered in the sound of silence |
| [03:31.25] |
in the sound of silence |
| [03:40.63] |
In the sound, the sound of silence, |
| [03:49.32] |
in the sound of silence |
| [03:57.88] |
The sound of silence, silence |
