Hello darkness, my old friend. I've come to talk with you again. | |
Because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while I was sleeping | |
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains within the sound of silence. | |
In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone | |
Âneath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp | |
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light | |
That split the night and touched the sound of silence. | |
And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more. | |
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening. | |
People writing songs that voices never shared, no one dared disturb the sound of silence. | |
"Fools," said I, "you do not know, silence like a cancer grows. | |
Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you." | |
But my words like silent raindrops fell and echoed in the wells of silence. | |
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made | |
And the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming. | |
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls | |
And tenement halls and whispered in the sound of silence." |
