| [00:08.770] | Hello darkness my old friend |
| [00:12.330] | I've come to talk with you again |
| [00:17.629] | Because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:22.810] | Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
| [00:28.100] | And the vision that was planted |
| [00:31.420] | In my brain still remains |
| [00:36.850] | Within the sound of silence |
| [00:44.090] | In restless dreams I walked along |
| [00:48.840] | Narrow streets of cobble stone |
| [00:53.260] | Beneath the halo of a street lamp |
| [00:58.010] | I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [01:02.950] | When my eyes were stabbed |
| [01:05.370] | By the flash of a neon light |
| [01:10.110] | That split the light |
| [01:13.610] | And touched the sound of silence |
| [01:19.680] | And in the naked light I saw |
| [01:23.730] | Ten thousand people maybe more |
| [01:28.660] | People talking without speaking |
| [01:33.400] | People hearing without listening |
| [01:37.710] | People writing songs that voices never share |
| [01:45.259] | And no one dare |
| [01:48.690] | Disturb the sound of silence |
| [01:55.100] | "Fool" said I,"You do not know |
| [01:58.490] | Silence like a cancer grows |
| [02:03.120] | Hear my words that I might teach you |
| [02:07.720] | Take my arms that I might reach you" |
| [02:12.100] | But my words like silent raindrops fell |
| [02:18.110] | And echoed in the walls of silence |
| [02:27.350] | And the people bowed and prayed |
| [02:31.930] | To the neon god they made |
