| Intro: |
| Hello darkness, my old friend |
| I've come to talk with you again |
| Because a vision softly creeping |
| Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
| And the vision |
| that was planted in my brain |
| Still remains |
| Within the sound of silence |
| In restless dreams I walked alone |
| Narrow streets of cobblestone |
| 'Neath the halo of a street lamp |
| I turned my collar |
| to the cold and damp |
| When my eyes were stabbed |
| By the flash of a neon light |
| That split the night |
| And touched the sound of silence |
| And in the naked light I saw |
| Ten thousand people, maybe more |
| People talking without speaking |
| People hearing without listening |
| People writing songs |
| That voices never share |
| And no one dared |
| Disturb the sound of silence |
| "Fools," said I, "You do not know |
| Silence like a cancer grows |
| Hear my words that I might teach you |
| Take my arms that I might reach you." |
| But my words |
| Like silent raindrops fell |
| And echoed in the wells of silence |
| Bridge: |
| x2 |
| And the people bowed and prayed |
| To the neon god they made |
| And the sign flashed out its warning |
| In the words that it was forming |
| And the sign said, The words of the |
| Prophets are written |
| on the subway walls |
| And tenement halls |
| And whispered in the sound |
| of silence |
