[A#] Hello darkness [C#] my old friend, I've come to talk [D#m] with you again
Because a vision softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping
[B] And the vision that was planted in [F#] my brain, still remains [C#] within the sound of [A#] silence
[D#m] In restless dreams I [C#] walked alone, narrow streets [D#m] and paths
The halo of a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collar to a cold and damp
When [B] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a [F#] neon light
Spent the night, [D#m] [C#] in touch with sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people [D#m] maybe more
People talking without [F#] speaking, people hearing without listening
People writing [B] songs, that voices never share
[F#]
No one there, [D#m] stirred [C#] the sound of [D#m] silence
Fools that I do not know, silence [D#m] like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might [F#] teach you, take my arms that I might reach you
But [B] my words, like silent raindrops fell, echoed [C#] the will of [D#m] silence
And the people bowed and prayed, to the [D#m] neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its [F#] warning, in the words that it was for me
And the sign [B] said the words of the prophets are written on [F#] the subway walls
And I'm in awe, [D#m] [F#] of this will [C#] of [D#m] silence
Because a vision softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping
[B] And the vision that was planted in [F#] my brain, still remains [C#] within the sound of [A#] silence
[D#m] In restless dreams I [C#] walked alone, narrow streets [D#m] and paths
The halo of a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collar to a cold and damp
When [B] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a [F#] neon light
Spent the night, [D#m] [C#] in touch with sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people [D#m] maybe more
People talking without [F#] speaking, people hearing without listening
People writing [B] songs, that voices never share
[F#]
No one there, [D#m] stirred [C#] the sound of [D#m] silence
Fools that I do not know, silence [D#m] like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might [F#] teach you, take my arms that I might reach you
But [B] my words, like silent raindrops fell, echoed [C#] the will of [D#m] silence
And the people bowed and prayed, to the [D#m] neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its [F#] warning, in the words that it was for me
And the sign [B] said the words of the prophets are written on [F#] the subway walls
And I'm in awe, [D#m] [F#] of this will [C#] of [D#m] silence
