Sound Of Silence

(专辑： Film Songs - 2014)

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk to you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it's 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 and cobble stones
'Neath the halo of a streetlight
I turn 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 never 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

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made
And the sign flashed out it's 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"
