[00:04:31]Hello darkness, my old friend[00:09:77]I've come to talk with you again[00:15:10]Because a vision softly creeping[00:20:74]Left its seeds while I was sleeping[00:26:25]And the vision that was planted in my brain[00:34:14]Still remains[00:38:06]Within the sound of silence[00:44:80]In restless dreams I walked alone[00:50:27]Narrow streets of cobblestone[00:55:69]Neath the halo of a street lamp[01:01:11]I turned my collar to the cold and damp[01:06:22]When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light[01:13:98]That split the night[01:17:90]And touched the sound of silence[01:24:56]And in the naked light I saw[01:29:67]Ten thousand people, maybe more[01:34:95]People talking without speaking[01:40:64]People hearing without listening[01:45:71]People writing songs that voices never share[01:54:61]And no one dare disturb the sound of silence[02:05:22]"Fools" said I, "You do not know[02:10:07]Silence like a cancer grows”[02:15:54]Hear my words that I might teach you[02:20:79]Take my arms that I might reach to you[02:26:08]But my words like silent as raindrops fell[02:36:34]And echoed in the wells of silence[02:45:06]And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.[02:55:02]And the sign flashed out its warning[03:00:13]And the words that it was forming[03:05:38]And the sign said:[03:07:36]"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls[03:13:53]and tenement halls[03:17:05]And whispered in the sound of silence."
