[00:03.07]Hello darkness my old friend
[00:07.41]I've come to talk with you again
[00:11.98]Because a vision softly creeping
[00:16.71]Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[00:21.42]And the vision that was planted in my brain
[00:27.99]Still remains
[00:31.37]Within the sound of silence
[00:37.15]In restless dreams I walked alone
[00:41.92]Narrow streets of cobblestone
[00:46.46]'Neath the halo of a street lamp
[00:50.83]I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[00:55.60]When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
[01:02.28]That split the night
[01:05.68]And touched the sound of silence
[01:11.41]And in the naked light I saw
[01:15.98]Ten thousand people maybe more
[01:20.96]People talking without speaking
[01:25.40]People hearing without listening
[01:30.06]People writing songs that voices never share
[01:37.88]And no one dare
[01:41.13]Disturb the sound of silence
[01:47.16]Fools said I You do not know
[01:51.56]Silence like a cancer grows
[01:56.26]Hear my words that I might teach you
[02:00.81]Take my arms that I might reach you
[02:05.40]But my words like silent raindrops fell
[02:14.22]And echoed
[02:16.33]In the wells of silence
[02:22.29]And the people bowed and prayed
[02:26.30]To the neon god they made
[02:30.50]And the sign flashed out its warning
[02:35.15]In the words that it was forming
[02:39.69]And the sign said The words of the prophets
[02:43.19]Are written on the subway walls
[02:47.41]And tenement halls
[02:50.25]And whisper'd in the sounds of silence
