[Sílvia Pérez Cruz - The Sound of Silence lyrics]
Hello darkness hello darkness my old friend
Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains with the Sounds of Silence
And in naked light I saw ten
Thousand people may be more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never
Share and no one dare
Disturb the Sounds of Silence
"Fools!" said I "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows"
"Hear my words that I might reach you take
My arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent rain-drops fell and
Echoed in the wells of silence
And people bowed and prayed to
The neon god they made
And the sign flashed out is warming
In the words that I was forming
And the signs said: "the words
Of the prophets are
Written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the Sound of Silence
Ahh ahh ahh Mmm mmm ahhh aah oohh
And whispered in the sound of silence
Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains with the Sounds of Silence
And in naked light I saw ten
Thousand people may be more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never
Share and no one dare
Disturb the Sounds of Silence
"Fools!" said I "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows"
"Hear my words that I might reach you take
My arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent rain-drops fell and
Echoed in the wells of silence
And people bowed and prayed to
The neon god they made
And the sign flashed out is warming
In the words that I was forming
And the signs said: "the words
Of the prophets are
Written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the Sound of Silence
Ahh ahh ahh Mmm mmm ahhh aah oohh
And whispered in the sound of silence
