Verse 1
AmHello darkness, my old Gfriend
I've come to talk with you aAmgain
Because a Cvision softFly creeCping
Left its seeds while I Fwas sleeCping
And the Fvision that was planted in my Cbrain
Within the Gsound of Amsilence
Verse 2
In restless dreams I walked aGlone
Through narrow streets of cobbleAmstone
'Neath the Chalo of Fa street Clamp
I turned my collar to the Fcold and Cdamp
When my Feyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon Clight
And touched the Gsound of Amsilence
Verse 3
And in the naked light I Gsaw
Ten thousand people, maybe Ammore
People Ctalking withFout speaCking
People hearing withFout listeCning
People writing Fsongs that voices never Cshare
Disturb the Gsound of Amsilence
Verse 4
"Fools" said I, "You do not Gknow
Silence like a cancer Amgrows
Hear my Cwords that I Fmight teach Cyou
Take my Farms that I might reach Cyou"
But my Fwords like silent raindrops CfellF C
And echoed in the Gwells of Amsilence
Verse 5
And the people bowed and Gprayed
To the neon god they Ammade
And the Csign flashed Fits warCning
In the words that it Fwas forCming
And the sign said, "The Fwords of the prophets are written on the subway Cwalls
And whispered in the Gsound of Amsilence
