[00:51.570]Hello darkness my old friend.
[00:55.190]I've come to talk with you again.
[01:00.670]Because a vision softly creeping.
[01:06.380]Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
[01:11.940]And the vision that was planted in my brain.
[01:19.630]Still remains.
[01:22.410]Within the sound of silence
[01:29.960]In restless dreams I walk alone.
[01:35.540]Narrow streets of cobble stone.
[01:40.960]'Neath the halo of a street lamp.
[01:45.280]I turned my collar to the cold and damp.
[01:51.030]When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of
[01:57.030]a neon light.
[02:01.130]That split the night.
[02:03.880]And touched the sound of silence.
[02:10.160]And in the naked night I saw.
[02:16.650]Ten thousand people maybe more.
[02:22.800]People talking without speaking.
[02:27.850]People hearing without listening.
[02:32.500]People writing songs that voices never share.
[02:41.920]And no one dare.
[02:45.280]Disturb the sound of silence.
[02:52.390]"Fool" said I "U do not know."
[02:57.580]"Silence like a cancer grows."
[03:02.860]Hear my words that I might teach U."
[03:09.500]"Take my arms that I might reach U."
[03:14.670]But my words like silent rain-drops fell.
[03:26.080]And echoed in the wells of silence.
[03:38.500]And the people bow and prayed.
[03:44.780]To the neon God they made.
[03:48.970]And the sign flash out its warning.
[03:54.520]In the words that it was forming
[04:00.800]And the sign said "The words of the prophers.
[04:09.520]Are written the subway walls and tenement halls".
[04:14.710]And whispered in the sounds of silence.
