Hel-lo dark-ness, my old friend
-3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -4 4 4
I’ve come to talk with you a-gain
4 4 4 5 5 6 6_-6_ -6 6
Be-cause a vis-ion soft-ly___ creep-ing
4 4 5 5 6 6_-6 -6 6
Left its seeds while I was_ sleep-ing
4 4 -6 -6 -6 -7 7 7 -7 -6 6
And the vis-ion that was plant-ed in my brain

Still re-mains

With-in the sound of sil-ence

In rest-less dreams I walked a-lone

‘Neath the ha-lo of a___ street lamp
-4 -4 4 -3 -3” 3 2 -6_6 -5 6
I turned my col-lar to the cold__ and damp

When my eyes were stabbed

by the flash of a ne-on light
4 -6 6 5
That split the night
4 4 4 6 -3 4 -3”
And touched the sound of sil-ence
3 3 3 4 4 5 4 -4
And in the nak-ed light I saw
-3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -4 -3 4
Ten thous-and peo-ple, may-be more
4 4 5 5 6 6_-6 -6 6
Peo-ple talk-ing with-out_ speak-ing

Peo-ple hear-ing with-out_ list’n-ing
4 4 5 6 -6 -7

And no one dared

“Fools”, said I, “You do not know
-3 -3 -3 -3 -4 -3 4
Sil-ence like a can-cer grows
4 4 5 5 6 6_-6 -6 6
Hear my words that I might teach you
7 -7 -6 6 5 4_-6 -6 6
Take my arms that I might reach you”
4 4 -6 -7 7 7 -7 -6 6
But my words, like sil-ent rain-drops fell
4 4 4 4 4 6 -3 4 -3”
And ech-oed in the wells of sil-ence

And the peo-ple bowed and prayed

To the ne-on god they made

And the sign flashed out its_ warn-ing
7 -7 -6 6 5 4_-6 -6 6
In the words that it was_ form-ing
4 4 5 6 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6
And the sign said, “The words of the proph-ets
-7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6 6
are writ-ten on the sub-way walls
4 -6 -6 6 5
And ten-e-ment halls”
