[length: 03:07]
[00:02.64]Hello darkness, my old friend
[00:07.40]I’ve come to talk with you again
[00:11.73]Because a vision softly creeping
[00:16.35]Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[00:21.18]And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains
[00:31.25]Within the sound of silence
[00:36.93]In restless dreams, I walked alone
[00:41.83]Narrow streets of cobblestone
[00:45.99]’Neath the halo of a street lamp
[00:50.45]I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[00:55.35]When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night
[01:05.88]And touched the sound of silence
[01:11.53]And in the naked light I saw
[01:15.91]Ten thousand people, maybe, more
[01:20.42]People talking without speaking
[01:24.74]People hearing without listening
[01:29.27]People writing songs that voices never shared and no one dared
[01:40.73]Disturb the sound of silence
[01:46.22]”Fools,” said I, “You do not know
[01:50.74]Silence like a cancer grows
[01:54.91]Hear my words that I might teach you
[01:59.17]Take my arms that I might reach you”
[02:03.92]But my words, like silent raindrops, fell
[02:12.44]And echoed in the wells of silence
[02:20.33]And the people bowed and prayed
[02:24.69]To the neon god they made
[02:29.16]And the sign flashed out its warning
[02:33.50]In the words that it was forming
[02:38.24]And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls
[02:48.10]And whispered in the sound of silence”
