The Sound Of Silence (MA. Live In Tokio)

Hello darkness, hello

Hello darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

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

And no one dared

Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools, fools," said I

"You do not know silence like a cancer grows

Take my arms that I might teach you

Hear my words that I might reach you"

But my words like silent raindrops fell

And disturbed the sound of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the new 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 disturbed the sound of silence"

Hello darkness, hello darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again
