The Sound of Silence - Celtic Thunder [Album: Mythology]

The Sound of Silence

Hello, darkness my old friend 
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left the seeds while          
I was sleeping,                
And the vision that was planted in my brain                    
Still remains with 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 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 share           
No one dare 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 fall
And echoed    
In the wells of silence                  

And the people bowed  and prayed       
To the neon god they made.  
And the sign flashed out it's warning            
In the words that it was forming
And the sings said
"The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway
Walls and tenement halls"
And whispers in The Sound of Silence
