[Verse 1]
AmHello darkness, my oldG friend
I've come to talk with yoAmu again
Because a Cvision softly FcreeCping
AmLeft its Cseeds while I was FsleeCping
And the Fvision that was planted in my Cbrain
GStill remAmains within the Csound of Amsilence
[Verse 2]
AmIn restless dreAms I walked aGlone
Narrow streets of cobblesAmtone
'Neath the Chalo of a sFtreet ClAmp
AmI turned my Ccollar to the Fcold and CdAmp
When my Feyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon Clight
That Gsplit the Amnight and touched the Csound of sAmilence
[Verse 3]
AmAnd in the naked light I Gsaw
Ten thousand people, maybe Ammore
People Ctalking without FspeaCking
AmPeople Chearing without FlisteCning
People wrFiting songs that voices never Cshared
And Gno one Amdared disturb the Csound of Amsilence
[Verse 4]
Am"Fools", said I, "You do notG know
Silence like a cancer Amgrows
Hear my Cwords that I migFht teach Cyou
AmTake my Carms that I migFht reach Cyou"
But my Fwords like silent raindrops Cfell Am
And echoed in the Cwells of Amsilence
[Verse 5]
AmAnd the people bowed and Gprayed
To the neon God they Ammade
And the Csign flashed out iFts warCning
AmIn the Cwords that it wFas forCming
And the sign said "The Fwords of the prophets are written on the subway Cwalls
And tGenement Amhalls and whispered in the Csound of Amsilence"
