The Sound Of Silence

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 that was planted in my brain
 Still remains
 Within 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
 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"
 Disturb the sound of silence
 Yeah
 People talking without speaking
 People hearing without listening
 People writing songs that voices never share
 No one dared
 Disturb the sound of silence
