The sound of Silence by Simon and Gurfunkel

Lyrics:
 Hello darkness, my old friend 
I've come to talk with you again 
Because a vision softly creeping 
Left its seeds while I was sleeping 
 And the vision that was planted in my brain 
 Still remains Within the sound of silence.

 In restless dreams I walked alone
 Narrow streets of cobblestone 
 'Neath the halo of a street lamp 
 I turned my collar to the cold and damp 
 When my eyes were stabbed
 by the flash of a neon light 
That split the night 
 And touched the sound of silence
.
 And in the naked light
 I saw Ten thousand people maybe more 
 People talking without speaking 
 People hearing without listening 
 People writing songs that voices never shared 
 No one dared Disturb
 the sound of silence 
. "Fools," said I, "you do not know
 Silence like a cancer grows 
 Hear my words that I might teach you
 Take my arms that I might reach you
" But my words like silent raindrops fell 
And echoed in the wells of silence .

And the people bowed and prayed 
 To the neon god they made 
 And the sign flashed out its warning 
In the words that it was forming 
And the sign said 
"The words of the prophets are written 
on the subway walls 
  And tenement halls 
And whispered in the sound of silence"
