Sound of Silence (Live)

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 shared

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 prophet

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 shared

No one dared

Disturb the sound of silence
