Title: Sound Of Silence
[00:24.96]Hello darkness, my old friend,
[00:29.83]I've come to talk with you again,
[00:35.37]Because a vision softly creeping,
[00:41.90]Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
[00:47.13]And the vision that was planted in my brain
[00:57.15]Still remains
[01:00.14]Within the sound of silence.
[01:09.81]In restless dreams I walked alone
[01:14.13]Narrow streets of cobblestone,
[01:21.17]'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
[01:26.28]I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[01:32.19]When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
[01:40.70]That split the night
[01:45.11]And touched the sound of silence.
[01:55.88]And in the naked light I saw
[02:10.33]Ten thousand people, maybe more.
[02:15.25]People talking without speaking,
[02:21.59]People hearing without listening,
[02:28.46]People writing songs that voices never share
[02:36.50]And no one dare
[02:42.00]Disturb the sound of silence.
[02:54.49]"Fools" said I, "You do not know
[02:59.91]Silence like a cancer grows.
[03:05.58]Hear my words that I might teach you,
[03:10.73]Take my arms that I might reach you."
[03:16.62]But my words like silent raindrops fell,
[03:25.99]And echoed
[03:31.36]In the wells of silence
[03:38.54]And the people bowed and prayed
[03:42.56]To the neon god they made.
[03:47.65]And the sign flashed out its warning,
[03:53.96]In the words that it was forming.
[04:00.17]And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
[04:04.80]are written on the subway walls
[04:10.66]And tenement halls."
[04:14.11]And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
[04:23.95]In the sounds of silence
[04:31.94]In the sounds of silence
