[Em]
Hello darkness my [D] old friend, I've come to talk with [Em] you again.
Because a vision [C] softly [G] creeping, left its seeds while [C] I [G] was sleeping.
[C] And a vision that was pleasant in [G] my brain, still remains [Em] [G] within [D] the sound [Em] of silence.
In rinsed streams I walked [D] alone, narrow streets of [Em] cobblestone.
Near the halo [C] of an [G] east wind lamp, I turned my color to [C] the [G] cold and damp.
When [C] my eyes were staffed out of flash, a lonely [G] heart of light, split the night.
[Em] [G] And touched [D] the sound [Em] of silence.
And in a naked light I [D] saw, ten thousand people, [Em] many more.
People talking [C] without [G] speaking, people hearing [C] without [G] listening.
People writing [C] songs, that voices never [G] share.
No one [Em] there, [G] disturbed [D] the sound [Em] of silence.
So say I [D] do not know, silence like [Em] a cancer grow.
Take my words that I [C] [G] might reach you, take my arms that [C] I [G] might reach you.
[C] But my words, like silent [G] rings of spell,
[Em] [G] echo [D] new wells [Em] of silence.
And the people bowed [D] and prayed, to the [Em] neon gods they made.
And the sign flashed [C] out in [G] its warning, and the words that [C] it was [G] for me.
And the sign [C] said the words of a prophet's song written down [G] somewhere.
And the fire walked, and the halls, whispered the [D] sounds [Em] of silence.
