[00:08.770]Hello darkness my old friend
[00:12.330]I've come to talk with you again
[00:17.629]Because a vision softly creeping
[00:22.810]Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[00:28.100]And the vision that was planted
[00:31.420]In my brain still remains
[00:36.850]Within the sound of silence
[00:44.090]In restless dreams I walked along
[00:48.840]Narrow streets of cobble stone
[00:53.260]Beneath the halo of a street lamp
[00:58.010]I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[01:02.950]When my eyes were stabbed
[01:05.370]By the flash of a neon light
[01:10.110]That split the light
[01:13.610]And touched the sound of silence
[01:19.680]And in the naked light I saw
[01:23.730]Ten thousand people maybe more
[01:28.660]People talking without speaking
[01:33.400]People hearing without listening
[01:37.710]People writing songs that voices never share
[01:45.259]And no one dare
[01:48.690]Disturb the sound of silence
[01:55.100]"Fool" said I,"You do not know
[01:58.490]Silence like a cancer grows
[02:03.120]Hear my words that I might teach you
[02:07.720]Take my arms that I might reach you"
[02:12.100]But my words like silent raindrops fell
[02:18.110]And echoed in the walls of silence
[02:27.350]And the people bowed and prayed
[02:31.930]To the neon god they made
