[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"
