[00:19.010]Hello darkness my old friend
[00:22.640]love come to talk with you again
[00:27.300]Because a vision softly creeping
[00:32.220]left its seeds while I was sleeping
[00:36.990]And the vision
[00:39.250]that was planted in my brain
[00:43.950]Still remains
[00:49.010]within the sound of silence
[00:54.140]
[00:54.520]In restless dreams I walked alone
[00:59.360]narrow streets of cobblestone
[01:03.710]Neath the halo of a street lamp
[01:08.530]I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[01:13.440]When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
[01:20.380]That split the night and touched the sound of silence
[01:31.220]And in the naked light I saw
[01:36.280]ten thousand people maybe more
[01:40.690]People talking without speaking
[01:45.410]people hearing without listening
[01:49.950]People writing songs
[01:52.520]that voices never share
[01:56.880]No one dare disturb the sound of silence
[02:07.620]Fools said I you do not know silence like a cancer grows
[02:17.050]Hear my words that I might teach you
[02:21.630]take my arms that I might reach you
[02:26.440]But my words like silence raindrops fell
[02:33.630]And echoed in the wells of silence
[02:44.180]And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made
[02:53.560]And the sign flashed out its warning
[02:58.240]in the words that it was forming
[03:01.780]And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
[03:09.710]And tenement halls
[03:12.730]and whispered in the sounds of silence
[03:22.600]
