"The Sound Of Silence"
EmHello darkness, my old friDend,
I've come to talk with you Emagain,
Because a vision sCoft crGeeping,
Left it's Emseeds while I wCas sleGeping,
And the vCision that was plC/Ganted in my braGin
Still rEmemains
Within the soDund of sEmilence.
IEmn restless dreams I walked aDlone
Narrow streets of cobbleEmstone,
'EmNeath the halo of aC street lGamp,
I turned my coEmllar to the cCold and dGamp
When my Ceyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon
Glight
That split the Emnight
And touched the Dsound of Emsilence.
EmAnd in the naked light I saDw
Ten thousand people, maybe Emmore.
EmPeople talking witChout speGaking,
EmPeople hearing withoutC listeniGng,
People writing soCngs that voices never shGare
And no one Emdare
Disturb the sDound of sEmilence.
EmFools said i, you do not knDow
Silence like a cancer Emgrows.
EmHear my words that I miCght teach yGou,
EmTake my arms that I miCght reach yoGu.
But my woCrds like silent raindrops fGell,
And ecEmhoed
In the Dwells of Emsilence
EmAnd the people bowed and pDrayed
To the neon God they Emmade.
EmAnd the sign flashed out itC's warniGng,
EmIn the words that it waCs formGing.
And the sEmign said, the woCrds of the prophets
Are writCten on the subway walGls
And tenement haEmlls.
And whispered in the sDounds of sEmilence.
