Hello darkness, my old friend |
| [00:08.424] |
I've come to talk with you again |
| [00:13.388] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:18.769] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
| [00:23.993] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [00:32.117] |
Still remains |
| [00:36.062] |
Within the sound of silence |
| [00:42.227] |
In restless dreams I walked alone |
| [00:47.295] |
Narrow streets of cobblestone |
| [00:52.441] |
Neath the halo of a street lamp |
| [00:58.057] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [01:03.334] |
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light |
| [01:12.268] |
That split the night |
| [01:16.395] |
And touched the sound of silence |
| [01:23.004] |
And in the naked light I saw |
| [01:27.758] |
Ten thousand people, maybe more |
| [01:33.140] |
People talking without speaking |
| [01:38.573] |
People hearing without listening |
| [01:43.824] |
People writing songs that voices never share |
| [01:52.993] |
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence |
| [02:03.624] |
"Fools" said I, You do not know |
| [02:08.170] |
Silence like a cancer grows |
| [02:13.603] |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
| [02:18.932] |
Take my arms that I might reach to you |
| [02:24.131] |
But my words like silent raindrops fell |
| [02:35.572] |
And echoed in the wells of silence |
| [02:43.827] |
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made. |
| [02:54.302] |
And the sign flashed out its warning |
| [02:59.526] |
And the words that it was forming |
| [03:05.117] |
And the sign said |
| [03:07.024] |
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls |
| [03:13.685] |
and tenement halls |
| [03:17.316] |
And whispered in the sound of silence. |
