[D#] [G#] Hello [C#] darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you [D#m] again.
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds [B] while I was [F#] sleeping.
And [B] the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still [A#m] remains [D#m] [F#] within [A#m] the sound [D#m] of silence.
In restless dreams I walk [C#] alone, narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone.
Leave the halo [B] of a street [F#] lamp, I turn my collar [B] to the [F#] cold and damp.
When [B] my eyes were spared by the flash of a neon [F#] light.
I split the night, [D#m] [F#] and [C#] touched the sound [D#m] of silence.
And in the naked light [C#] I saw, ten thousand people [D#] maybe [D#m] more.
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening.
People writing [B] songs, that voices never [F#] share.
No one there, [D#] [F#] [C#] stirred the sound [D#m] of silence.
Who's that I [C#] do not know, silence like a [D#] cancer grows.
[D#m]
Hear my words that [B] I might [F#] beat you, take my arms that [B] I might [F#] reach you.
[B] But my words, like silent [F#] raindrops fell,
[D#m] [F#] echo [C#] the will [D#m] of silence.
And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, during the [D#m] ungodly night.
And the sign blacked [B] out its [F#] warning, in the words that [B] it was [F#] forming.
And the sign [B] said the words of the prophets are written on the subway [F#] walls.
Peniment halls, [D#m] [F#] whisper [C#] the sound of [D#]
silence.
[A#m] [D#m]
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds [B] while I was [F#] sleeping.
And [B] the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still [A#m] remains [D#m] [F#] within [A#m] the sound [D#m] of silence.
In restless dreams I walk [C#] alone, narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone.
Leave the halo [B] of a street [F#] lamp, I turn my collar [B] to the [F#] cold and damp.
When [B] my eyes were spared by the flash of a neon [F#] light.
I split the night, [D#m] [F#] and [C#] touched the sound [D#m] of silence.
And in the naked light [C#] I saw, ten thousand people [D#] maybe [D#m] more.
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening.
People writing [B] songs, that voices never [F#] share.
No one there, [D#] [F#] [C#] stirred the sound [D#m] of silence.
Who's that I [C#] do not know, silence like a [D#] cancer grows.
