Am Hello darkness, my old friGend G I've come to talk with you agAmain Because a vision softlFy creepCing Left its seeds while I wFas sleepCing And the vFision that was planted in my brCain Still remains Am Within the sGound of sAmilence
[Verse 2]
Am In restless dreams I walked Galone G Narrow streets of cobblesAmtone 'Neath the halo of Fa street lCamp I turned my collar to the cFold and dCamp When my eFyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon lCight That split the night Am And touched the sGound of sAmilence
[Verse 3]
Am And in the naked light I sGaw G Ten thousand people, maybe mAmore People talking withFout speakCing People hearing withFout listenCing People writing sFongs that voices never shCare And no one dared Am Disturb the sGound of sAmilence
[Verse 4]
Am "Fools", said I, "You do not knGow G Silence like a cancer gAmrows Hear my words that I mFight teach yCou Take my arms that I miFght reach yoCu" But my wFords, like silent raindrops fCell Am And Cechoed In the wGells of sAmilence
[Verse 5]
Am And the people bowed and prGayed G To the neon god they mAmade And the sign flashed out Fits warnCing In the words that it wFas formCing And the sign said, "The wFords of the prophets are written on the subway Cwalls And tenement halls" Am And whCispered in the sGounds of sAmilence
