Lyrics:

[00:04.49]Hello darkness, my old friend

[00:08.93]I've come to talk with you again

[00:13.49]Because a vision softly creeping

[00:18.11]Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:22.74]And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:29.30]Still remains, within the sound of silence

[00:38.74]In restless dreams I walked alone.

[00:43.43]Narrow streets of cobblestone

[00:47.93]Neath the halo of a street lamp

[00:52.49]I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[00:57.05]When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[01:03.68]That split the night

[01:07.19]And touched the sound of silence

[01:13.24]And in the naked light I saw

[01:17.55]Ten thousand people, maybe more

[01:22.36]People talking without speaking

[01:26.86]People hearing without listening

[01:31.49]People writing songs that voices never share

[01:38.61]And no one dared, disturb the sound of silence

[01:47.99]'Fools', said I, 'You do not know

[01:52.55]Silence like a cancer grows

[01:56.86]Hear my words that I might teach you

[02:01.36]Take my arms that I might reach you

[02:05.74]But my words, like silent raindrops fell

[02:12.80]

[02:14.48]And echoed .In the wells of silence

[02:22.55]And the people bowed and prayed

[02:27.05]To the neon god they made

[02:31.36]And the sign flashed out its warning

[02:35.74]In the words that it was forming

[02:40.30]And the sign said,

[02:41.80]'The words of the prophets are written

[02:44.55]on the subway walls, and tenement halls'

[02:50.92]Whispered in the sounds of silence
