- 00:11.80 Hello darkness, my old friend
- 00:15.81 I've come to talk with you again
- 00:20.10 Because a vision softly creeping
- 00:24.60 Left its seeds while I was sleeping
- 00:29.05 And the vision that was planted in my brain
- 00:35.70 Still remains
- 00:39.21 Within the sound of silence
- 00:43.11
- 00:45.20 In restless dreams I walked alone
- 00:49.65 Narrow streets of cobblestone,
- 00:54.32 'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
- 00:58.99 I turned my collar to the cold and damp
- 01:03.71 When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
- 01:07.61 a neon light
- 01:10.68 That split the night
- 01:12.88 And touched the sound of silence
- 01:17.88
- 01:19.91 And in the naked light I saw
- 01:24.20 Ten thousand people, maybe more
- 01:28.81 People talking without speaking
- 01:33.59 People hearing without listening
- 01:38.42 People writing songs that voices never share
- 01:46.11 And no one deared
- 01:48.42 Disturb the sound of silence.
- 01:53.25
- 01:55.56 "Fools" said I, "You do not know
- 01:59.79 Silence like a cancer grows.
- 02:04.24 Hear my words that I might teach you,
- 02:08.85 Take my arms that I might reach you."
- 02:13.41 But my words like silent raindrops fell
- 02:22.58 And echoed
- 02:25.16 In the wells of silence
- 02:28.84
- 02:30.66 And the people bowed and prayed
- 02:34.78 To the neon god they made
- 02:39.11 And the sign flashed out its warning
- 02:43.51 In the words that it was forming
- 02:48.01 And the signs said, The words of the prophets
- 02:51.36 are written on the subway walls
- 02:55.48 And tenement halls
- 02:58.12 And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
