[00:55.755]Hello darkness my old friend.
[01:00.744]I've come to talk with you again.
[01:05.261]Because a vision softly creeping.
[01:09.512]Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
[01:15.257]And the vision that was planted in my brain.
[01:22.246]Still remains.
[01:26.250]Within the sound of silence
[01:29.505]
[01:32.000]In restless dreams I walked alone.
[01:36.500]Narrow streets of cobble stone.
[01:40.999]'Neath the halo of a street lamp.
[01:46.013]I turned my collar to the cold & damp.
[01:51.262]When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light.
[01:58.995]That split the night.
[02:01.758]And touched the sound of silence.
[02:09.243]
[02:09.753]And in the naked light I saw.
[02:13.251]Ten thousand people maybe more.
[02:18.251]People talking without speaking.
[02:23.003]People hearing without listening.
[02:28.248]People writing songs that voices never share.
[02:35.499]And no one dare.
[02:39.003]Disturb the sound of silence
[02:46.004]"Fool" said I "U do not know.
[02:50.005]"Silence like a cancer grows.
[02:54.754]Hear my words that I might teach U.
[02:59.509]"Take my arms that I might reach out to U.
[03:04.996]But my words like silent raindrops fell
[03:10.999]
[03:15.016]And echoed in the wells of silence
[03:20.749]
[03:23.757]And the people bowed & prayed.
[03:27.764]To the neon God they made.
[03:32.758]And the sign flash out its warning.
[03:38.005]In the words that it was forming
[03:42.495]And the sign said "The words of the prophets.
[03:50.252]Are written on the subway walls tenement halls".
[03:53.261]And whispered in the sounds of silence.
