[0:00.217] Hello darkness my old friend
[0:04.533] I've come to talk with you again
[0:08.905] Because a vision softly creeping
[0:13.479] Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[0:17.857] And the vision that was planted in my brain
[0:24.241] Still remains
[0:27.311] Within the sound of silence
[0:32.957] In restless dreams I walked alone
[0:37.436] Narrow streets of cobble stone
[0:41.632] Bneath the halo of a street lamp
[0:45.669] I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[0:50.386] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
[0:56.851] That split the night
[0:59.699] And touched the sound of silence
[1:05.203] And in the naked light I saw
[1:09.468] Ten thousand people, maybe more
[1:13.931] People talking without speaking
[1:18.491] People hearing without listening
[1:22.465] People writing songs that voices never share
[1:29.529] And no one dared
[1:32.831] Disturb the sound of silence
[1:38.350] "Fools" said I, "you do not know.
[1:42.523] "Silence like a cancer grows.
[1:46.696] "Hear my words that I might teach you.
[1:50.900] "Take my arms that I might reach you.
[1:55.032] But my words like silent rain-drops fell
[2:03.920] And echoed in the wells of silence
[2:10.736] And the people bowed and prayed
[2:14.954] To the neon god they made
[2:19.084] And the sign flashed out its warning
[2:23.362] In the words that it was forming
[2:27.565] And the sign said "the words of the prophets
[2:30.777] Are written on the subway walls and tenement halls"
[2:37.253] And whispered in the sounds of silence
