- W0 m+ v& E8 w3 }Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
9 A- B$ D6 X: O. \- v$ W, ZAnd the vision that was planted in my brain
7 u- ^1 f# Z3 y& qStill remains
( u& U1 A7 m# n5 ?Within the sound of silence.

That split the night

And in the naked light I saw

People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.

And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
