 Hello darkness, my old friend,
 I've come to talk with you again,
 Because a vision softly creepin',
 Left it's seeds while I was sleepin',
 And the vision that was planted in my brain
 Still remains
 Within 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 dare
 Disturb the sound of silence
 And the people bowed and prayed
 To the neon God they made
 And the sign flashed out it's warnin',
 In the words that it was formin'
 And the words of the prophets
 Are written on the subway walls
 And tenement halls
 Whisper'd the sounds of silence
