[D#]
[D#m]
Darkness, [C#] my old friend, [A#m] I've come to talk with you [D#m] again.
Because [F#] a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while [B] I was [F#] sleeping.
And [B] the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still [A#m] remains.
[D#]
[A#] [F#] Within [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence, in restless dreams I [C#] walked,
narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone.
[G#] Neat by [B] little, a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collar to [B] the cold [F#] and damp.
[B] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a [F#] neon light,
I spent the night, [D#m]
[F#] [C#] untouched the sound [D#m] of silence.
And in the naked [C#] light I saw, ten thousand people, maybe [D#m] more.
[F#] People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening,
people writing [B] songs that voices never [F#] share.
No one [D#m] dared [F#] disturb [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence.
Those that [C#] I do not know, silence like a [D#m] cancer rose.
[F#] Hear my words that I [B] might [F#] teach you, take my arms that I might reach you.
[B] But my words like silent rain [F#] drops filled, [D#m]
[F#] [C#]
[D#] of silence.
And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, to the [D#m] neon god they made.
And the sign [B] flashed [F#] its warning, in the [B] words that it was [F#] forming.
And the sign said [B] the words of the prophets are written on the [F#] subway walls,
and tenement halls.
