Disturbed - The Sound of Silence

[00:09.75] Hello darkness, my old friend [00:14.80] I've come to talk with you again [00:20.86] Because a vision softly creeping [00:27.00] Left its seeds while I was sleeping [00:32.89] And the vision that was planted in my brain [00:41.66] Still remains [00:46.18] Within the sound of silence [00:53.17] In restless dreams, I walked alone [00:58.92] Narrow streets of cobblestone [01:04.82] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp [01:10.57] I turned my collar to the cold and damp [01:16.36] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light [01:24.94] That split the night [01:29.26] And touched the sound of silence [01:36.31] And in the naked light, I saw [01:42.06] Ten thousand people, maybe more [01:47.58] People talking without speaking [01:53.46] People hearing without listening [01:58.05] People writing songs that voices never shared [02:07.43] And no one dared [02:11.44] Disturb the sound of silence [02:18.70] "Fools" said I, "You do not know [02:24.58] Silence like a cancer grows [02:30.14] Hear my words that I might teach you [02:35.59] Take my arms that I might reach you" [02:40.83] But my words, like silent raindrops fell [02:49.45] [02:51.48] And echoed in the wells of silence [02:59.41] And the people bowed and prayed [03:05.16] To the neon god they made [03:10.55] And the sign flashed out its warning [03:15.96] In the words that it was forming [03:21.72] Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls [03:31.15] In tenement halls" [03:34.33] And whispered in the sound of silence [03:47.34]
