\nLYRICS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hello darkness, my old friend
\nI’ve come to talk with you again
\nBecause a vision softly creeping
\nLeft its seeds while I was sleeping
\nAnd the vision that was planted in my brain
\nStill remains
\nWithin the sound of silence<\/p>\n

In restless dreams I walked alone
\nNarrow streets of cobblestone
\n‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
\nI turned my collar to the cold and damp
\nWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
\nThat split the night
\nAnd touched the sound of silence<\/p>\n

And in the naked light I saw
\nTen thousand people, maybe more
\nPeople talking without speaking
\nPeople hearing without listening
\nPeople writing songs that voices never share
\nNo one dared
\nDisturb the sound of silence<\/p>\n

“Fools” said I, “You do not know
\nSilence like a cancer grows
\nHear my words that I might teach you
\nTake my arms that I might reach you”
\nBut my words like silent raindrops fell
\nAnd echoed in the wells of silence<\/p>\n

And the people bowed and prayed
\nTo the neon god they made
\nAnd the sign flashed out its warning
\nIn the words that it was forming<\/p>\n

And the sign said, “The words of the prophets
\nAre written on the subway walls
\nAnd tenement halls”
\nAnd whispered in the sounds of silence<\/p>\n
