Em
EmHello darkness, my old Dfriend,
I've come to talk with you Emagain,
Because a visions softCly creeGping,
Left its seeds while I Cwas sleeGping,
And the Cvision that was planted
in to my Gbrain, still reEmmains
GWithin the Dsound of Emsilence
In restless dreams I walked Dalone
Narrow streets of cobbleEmstone,
'Neath the halo of a Cstreet Glamp,
I turned my collar to the Ccold and Gdamp
When my Ceyes were stabbed by the flash by a neon Glight
That split the Emnight
GAnd touched the Dsound of Emsilence
And in the naked light I Dsaw
Ten thousand people, maybe Emmore
People talking withCout speaGking,
People hearing withCout listeGning,
People writing Csongs that voices never Gshare
And no one Emdare
GDisturb the Dsound of Emsilence
Fools said I, "You do not Dknow"
Silence like a cancer Emgrows
Hear my words that I Cmight teach Gyou,
Take my arms that I Cmight reach Gyou
But my Cwords like Gsilent raindrops Emfell,
And Gechoed In the Dwalls of Emsilence
And the people bowed and Dprayed
To the neon god they'd Emmade
And the sign flashed out Cis warGning,
In the words that it Cwas forGming
And the Csign said the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway Gwalls
And tenement Emhalls
And Gwhisper'd in the Dsound of Emsilence.
