[00:03.81]Hello darkness my old friend
[00:08.37]I've come to talk with you again
[00:13.05]Because a vision softly creeping
[00:17.88]Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[00:22.89]And the vision that was planted in my brain
[00:29.19]Still remains
[00:32.67]Within the sound of silence
[00:36.54]In restless dreams I walked alone
[00:43.80]Narrow streets of cobblestone
[00:48.84]'Neath the halo of a street lamp
[00:53.40]I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[00:58.26]When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
[01:04.59]That split the night
[01:08.16]And touched the sound of silence
[01:14.94]And in the naked light I saw
[01:19.29]Ten thousand people maybe more
[01:24.06]People talking without speaking
[01:29.10]People hearing without listening
[01:33.75]People writing songs that voices never share
[01:41.85]No one dared
[01:44.04]Disturb the sound of silence
[01:50.31]Fools said I you do not know
[01:55.02]Silence like a cancer grows
[01:59.61]Hear my words that I might teach you
[02:04.53]Take my arms that I might reach you
[02:09.15]But my words like silent raindrops fell
[02:18.93]And echoed in the wells of silence
[02:26.82]And the people bowed and prayed
[02:31.71]To the neon god they made
[02:36.24]And the sign flashed out its warning
[02:41.07]In the words that it was forming
[02:45.93]And the sign said
[02:47.25]The words of the prophets are
[02:49.83]Written on the subway walls
[02:53.58]And tenement halls
[02:55.98]And whispered in the sounds of silence
