00:00:03.920 --> 00:00:06.760
Hello darkness, my old friend.

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.560
I've come to talk with you again.

00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:18.040
Because a vision softly creeping

00:00:19.360 --> 00:00:23.320
Left its seeds while I was sleeping

00:00:24.740 --> 00:00:31.260
And the vision that was planted in my brain

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:34.520
Still remains

00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:41.220
Within the sound of silence

00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:45.600
In restless dreams I walked alone

00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:50.460
Narrow streets of cobblestone,

00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:57.120
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,

00:00:58.540 --> 00:01:02.200
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

00:01:03.740 --> 00:01:11.420
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:14.720
That split the night

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:21.680
And touched the sound of silence.

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.500
And in the naked light I saw

00:01:28.340 --> 00:01:30.680
Ten thousand people, maybe more.

00:01:33.820 --> 00:01:37.640
People talking without speaking,

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.880
People hearing without listening,

00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:52.060
People writing songs that voices never share

00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.120
And no one dared

00:01:57.060 --> 00:02:02.140
Disturb the sound of silence.

00:02:03.860 --> 00:02:06.760
"Fools," said I, "You do not know –

00:02:09.020 --> 00:02:12.020
Silence like a cancer grows.

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:18.160
Hear my words that I might teach you.

00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:23.680
Take my arms that I might reach you.

00:02:24.820 --> 00:02:31.560
But my words like silent raindrops fell

00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:43.280
And echoed in the wells of silence

00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:46.660
And the people bowed and prayed

00:02:49.340 --> 00:02:52.440
To the neon god they made.

00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:58.740
And the sign flashed out its warning

00:02:59.260 --> 00:02:59.760
 

00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:03.780
In the words that it was forming.

00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:12.500
And the sign said, The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

00:03:13.836 --> 00:03:16.216
And tenement halls

00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:26.780
And whispered in the sound of silence.
