[Verse]
    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.
[Verse]
    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.
[Verse]
    And in the naked land I saw,
    Ten thousand people, maybe more,
    People talking without speaking,
    People hearing without listening,
  + People writing songs, that voices never shared.
    No one dared,
      Disturb the sound   of silence.
[Verse]
    "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,
    [silence]
    And echoed,   in the wells   of silence.
[Verse]
    And the people bowed and prayed,
    To the neon god they'd 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.
