[00:03.490]Hello darkness my old friend.
[00:07.970]I've come to talk with you again
[00:12.310]Because a vision softly creeping.
[00:17.120]Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
[00:21.590]And the vision that was planted in my brain.
[00:28.460]Still remains.
[00:31.800]Within the sound of silence
[00:37.500]In restless dreams I walked alone.
[00:42.370]Narrow streets of cobble stone.
[00:46.850]'Neath the halo of a street lamp.
[00:51.290]I turned my collar to the cold & damp.
[00:56.010]When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light.
[01:02.780]That split the night.
[01:06.220]And touched the sound of silence.
[01:11.950]And in the naked light I saw.
[01:16.400]Ten thousand people maybe more.
[01:21.110]People talking without speaking.
[01:25.560]People hearing without listening.
[01:29.950]People writing songs that voices never share.
[01:37.790]And no one dare.
[01:41.110]Disturb the sound of silence.
[01:46.750]\"Fool\" said I \"You do not know.\"
[01:51.250]\"Silence like a cancer grows.\"
[01:55.540]\"Hear my words that I might teach you.\"
[01:59.960]\"Take my arms that I might reach you.\"
[02:04.420]But my words like silent rain-drops fell.
[02:13.780]And echoed in the wells of silence.
[02:21.190]And the people bow and prayed.
[02:25.580]To the neon God they made.
[02:29.880]And the sign flashed out its warning.
[02:34.340]In the words that it was forming
[02:38.680]And the sign said \"The words of the prophets.
[02:42.030]Are written on the subway walls and tenement halls\".
[02:49.580]And whispered in the sounds of silence.
