SOUND OF SILENCE
Dam, dam, dam, dam,
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, planted in my brain
still remains with 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,
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,
and my arms reach you. But my words,
like silent raindrops fell, echoed in the wells.
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.
