[Verse 1]
Am Hello darkness, my old Gfriend,
I've come to talk with you Amagain,
Because a vision softFly creepCing,
Left its seeds while I Fwas sleeCping,
And the Fvision that was planted in my Cbrain
Still remainC/Bs Am
CWithin the sGound of sAmilence.
[Verse 2]
In restless dreams I walked aGlone
Narrow streets of cobbleAmstone,
'neath the halo of Fa street Clamp,
I turned my collar to the Fcold and Cdamp
When my Feyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon Clight
That split the nightC/B Am
ACnd touched the Gsound of Amsilence.
[Verse 3]
And in the naked light I Gsaw
Ten thousand people, maybe Ammore.
People talking withFout speaCking,
People hearing withFout listeCning,
People writing Fsongs that voices never Cshare
And no one darC/Be Am
CDisturb the Gsound of Amsilence.
[Verse 4]
Fools said I, you do not Gknow
Silence like a cancer Amgrows.
Hear my words that I Fmight teach Cyou,
Take my arms that I Fmight reach Cyou.
But my Fwords like silent raindrops CfellC/B, Am
AndC echoed
In the Gwells of Amsilence
[Verse 5]
And the people bowed and Gprayed
To the neon God they Ammade.
And the sign flashed out Fits warCning,
In the words that it wFas forCming.
And the sign said, the Fwords of the prophets
Are written on the subway wCalls
And tenement Challs.C/B Am
And whispCer'd in the Gsounds of Amsilence.
