Hello darkness, my old friend, |
| [01:21.860] |
I've come to talk with you again, |
| [01:26.799] |
Because a vision softly creeping, |
| [01:31.759] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping, |
| [01:40.415] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [01:46.871] |
Still remains |
| [01:49.840] |
Within the sound of silence. |
| [02:00.670] |
|
| [02:20.176] |
In restless dreams I walked alone |
| [02:25.058] |
Narrow streets of cobblestone, |
| [02:30.120] |
'Neath the halo of a street lamp, |
| [02:34.708] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [02:40.867] |
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light |
| [02:47.141] |
That split the night |
| [02:50.470] |
And touched the sound of silence. |
| [02:59.012] |
|
| [03:01.639] |
And the people bowed and prayed |
| [03:05.094] |
To the neon god they made. |
| [03:08.501] |
"Fools" said I, "You do not know |
| [03:12.239] |
Silence like a cancer grows. |
| [03:15.795] |
|
| [03:32.715] |
And in the naked light I saw |
| [03:37.539] |
Ten thousand people, maybe more. |
| [03:42.631] |
People talking without speaking, |
| [03:47.778] |
People hearing without listening, |
| [03:52.066] |
|
| [04:09.589] |
And the sign flashed out its warning, |
| [04:14.185] |
In the words that it was forming. |
| [04:18.682] |
, "The words of the prophets |
| [04:20.925] |
Are written on the subway walls |
| [04:24.420] |
And tenement halls." |
| [04:28.324] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence. |
| [04:48.254] |
|
| [04:57.810] |
"Fools" said I, "You do not know |
| [05:00.196] |
Silence like a cancer grows. |
| [05:02.462] |
Hear my words that I might teach you, |
| [05:04.952] |
Take my arms that I might reach you." |
