Pentatonix - The Sound of Silence

[00:00.92] Hello darkness, my old friend [00:04.92] I've come to talk with you again [00:10.65] Because a vision softly creeping [00:14.82] Left its seeds while I was sleeping [00:19.96] And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains [00:30.50] Within the sound of, silence [00:36.99] In restless dreams I walked alone [00:42.55] Narrow streets of cobblestone [00:49.58] 'Neath the halo of the streetlamp [00:54.49] I turned my collar to the cold and damp [00:59.35] When my eyes were stabbed [01:04.34] By the flash of a neon light [01:07.95] That split the night [01:11.64] And touched the sound [01:17.34] Of silence [01:19.58] And in the naked light I saw [01:24.44] Ten thousand people, maybe more [01:28.41] People talking without speaking [01:34.27] People hearing without listening [01:39.52] People writing songs [01:41.72] That voices never share [01:47.04] And no one dared [01:51.76] Disturb the sound [01:52.17] Of silence [01:57.99] (Of silence) [02:01.28] "Fools," said I, "you do not know [02:08.22] Silence, like a cancer, grows [02:13.63] Hear my words that I might teach you [02:19.68] Take my arms that I might reach you" [02:23.68] But my words like silent raindrops fell [02:30.90] And echoed in the wells [02:36.29] [02:39.70] Of silence [02:42.16] And the people bowed and prayed [02:45.33] To the neon god they made [02:50.26] And the sign flashed out its warning [02:55.12] In the words that it was forming [03:00.85] And the sign said, "the words of the prophets [03:07.05] Are written on the subway walls [03:10.68] And tenement halls" [03:14.77] And whispered in the sound [03:19.86] Of silence [03:24.41]
