[F] [A#] Hello darkness my [C#] 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.
And [B] the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still remains within [C#] the sound [A#] of silence.
[D#m] In restless dreams I walked [C#]
alone, narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone.
Deep [D#m] a hill [B] of a street [F#] lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp.
When [B] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F#] light.
Split the night, [C#] touched the sound [D#m] of silence.
And [D#] in the naked light [C#] I saw, ten thousand people [D#] maybe more.
[D#m]
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing without listening.
People writing [B] songs that voices never [F#] share.
No one there, [D#m] [C#] just beautiful sound, [D#m] but silence.
Fools say I [C#] do not know, silence like [D#] a cancer grows.
[D#m]
Hear my words [B] that I might [F#] teach you, take my arms that I might lead you.
[B] But my words, like silent raindrops [F#] fell,
[D#m] [F#] [C#] echoed the will of [D#m] silence.
[D#] And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, to the neon [D#m] god they made.
And the sign [B] flashed out in its [F#] warning, in the words that it was forming.
And the sign said [B] the words of the prophets are written on the subway [F#] wall.
And I'm in [D#m] awe, [F#] whispering [C#] in the sounds of [A#m] silence.
[F] [D#m]
Because a vision softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping.
And [B] the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still remains within [C#] the sound [A#] of silence.
