Lyrics

[01:17.407] Hello darkness, my old friend,
[01:21.860] I've come to talk with you again,
[01:26.799] Because a vision softly creeping,
[01:31.759] Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
[01:40.415] And the vision that was planted in my brain
[01:46.871] Still remains
[01:49.840] Within the sound of silence.
[02:00.670]
[02:20.176] In restless dreams I walked alone
[02:25.058] Narrow streets of cobblestone,
[02:30.120] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
[02:34.708] I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[02:40.867] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
[02:47.141] That split the night
[02:50.470] And touched the sound of silence.
[02:59.012]
[03:01.639] And the people bowed and prayed
[03:05.094] To the neon god they made.
[03:08.501] "Fools" said I, "You do not know
[03:12.239] Silence like a cancer grows.
[03:15.795]
[03:32.715] And in the naked light I saw
[03:37.539] Ten thousand people, maybe more.
[03:42.631] People talking without speaking,
[03:47.778] People hearing without listening,
[03:52.066]
[04:09.589] And the sign flashed out its warning,
[04:14.185] In the words that it was forming.
[04:18.682] , "The words of the prophets
[04:20.925] Are written on the subway walls
[04:24.420] And tenement halls."
[04:28.324] And whispered in the sounds of silence.
[04:48.254]
[04:57.810] "Fools" said I, "You do not know
[05:00.196] Silence like a cancer grows.
[05:02.462] Hear my words that I might teach you,
[05:04.952] Take my arms that I might reach you."
