Hellodarkness,myoldfriend,
Ivecometotalkwithyouagain,
Becauseavisionsoftlycreeping,
LeftitsseedswhileIwassleeping,
Andthevisionthatwasplantedinmybrain
Stillremains
Withinthesoundofsilence.
InrestlessdreamsIwalkalone
Narrowstreetsofcobblestone,
Neaththehaloofastreetlamp,
Iturnedmycollartothecoldanddamp
Whenmyeyeswerestabbedbytheflashofaneonlight
Thatsplitthenight
Andtouchedthesoundofsilence.
AndinthenakedlightIsaw
Tenthousandpeople,maybemore.
Peopletalkingwithoutspeaking,
Peoplehearingwithoutlistening,
Peoplewritingsongsthatvoicesnevershare
Andnoonedared
Disturbthesoundofsilence.
FoolssaidI,Youdonotknow
Silencelikeacancergrows.
HearmywordsthatImightteachyou,
TakemyarmsthatImightreachyou.
Butmywordslikesilentraindropsfell,
Andechoed
Inthewellsofsilence
Andthepeoplebowedandprayed
Totheneongodtheymade.
Andthesignflasheditswarning,
Inthewordsthatitwasforming.
Andthesignssaid,Thewordsoftheprophetsarewrittenonthesubwaywalls
Andtenementhalls.
Andwhisperdinthesoundsofsilence.
