Lyrics

[00:16.23] Hello, darkness my old friend
[00:20.68] I've come to talk with you again
[00:23.48] Because a vision softly creeping
[00:29.33] Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[00:33.79] And the vision that was planted in my brain
[00:40.69] still remains
[00:45.04] Within the sound of silence, silence
[00:55.02] In restless dreams, I walked alone
[00:59.66] narrow streets of cobblestone
[01:03.85] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp
[01:08.85] I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[01:13.25] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
[01:19.88] That split the night
[01:23.56] and touched the sound of silence
[01:29.73] And in the naked light I saw
[01:33.81] ten thousand people, maybe more
[01:38.92] People talking without speaking
[01:43.66] people hearing without listening
[01:47.86] People writing songs that voices never shared
[01:55.97] and no one dared
[01:59.72] Disturb the sound of silence, silence
[02:10.52] 'Fools' said I 'You do not know
[02:14.49] silence like a cancer grows
[02:19.24] Hear my words that I might teach you
[02:23.93] Take my arms that I might reach you
[02:28.62] But my words like silent raindrops fell
[02:36.49] And echoed in the wells of silence
[02:46.45] the silence
[02:49.20] And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made
[02:58.68] And the sign flashed out its warning
[03:03.33] in the words that it was forming
[03:07.67] And the sign said the words of the prophets
[03:11.49] Are written on the subway walls
[03:15.43] and tenement halls and whispered
[03:19.97] And whispered in the sound of silence
[03:31.25] in the sound of silence
[03:40.63] In the sound, the sound of silence,
[03:49.32] in the sound of silence
[03:57.88] The sound of silence, silence
