Hel-lo dark-ness, my old friend 

 3    3   3   -4   -4  -5 -5  4
 7    7   7   -8   -8  -9 -9  8
I've come to talk with you a-gain 

4    4   4  6   6   7   7   -7    7
8    8   8 10  10   11  11  -11  11
Be-cause a vis-ion soft-ly creep-ing 

 4    4    6     6   7  7   -7    7
 8    8   10    10  11 11   -11  11
Left its seeds while I was sleep-ing 

 4   4  -7  -7   -7  -8    8   8  -8 -7   7
 8   8  -11 -11 -11  -12  12   12-12 -11 11
And the vis-ion that was plant-ed in my brain 

 -7   7    6
 -11  11  10
Still re-mains 

 4   4   4    7   -4  4  -3
 8   8   8    11  -8  8  -7
With-in the sound of sil-ence 

-3  -3   -3    4    4   6    6  -5
-7  -7   -7    8    8  10   10  -9
In rest-less dreams I walked a-lone 

 3   3    -4    -4 -5  -5    4
 7   7    -8    -8 -9  -9    8
Nar-row streets of cob-ble-stone 

   4    4  6  6  7  7   -7    7
   8    8  10 10 11 11 -11    11
'Neath the ha-lo of a street lamp 

4   4    4   6   6  7   7  -7   -7   7
8   8    8  10  10  11 11  -11  -11  11
I turned my col-lar to the cold and damp 

 4   4   -7   -7    -7
 8   8  -11  -11    -11
When my eyes were stabbed  

-7 -8    8   8  8 -8 -7   7
-11-12  12   1212 -12-11 11
by the flash of a ne-on light 

 7    -7    7    6
 11   -11  11   10
That split the night 

 4     4     4    7   -4  4   -3
 8     8     8   11   -8  8   -7
And touched the sound of sil-ence 

-3  -3 -3   4  4    6   6 -5
-7  -7 -7   8  8   10  10 -9
And in the nak-ed light I saw 

 3    3    3  -4  -4   -5 -5   4
 7    7    7  -8  -8   -9 -9   8
Ten thous-and peo-ple, may-be more 

 4   4   6    6   7    7   -7    7
 8   8   10  10   11  11   -11  11
Peo-ple talk-ing with-out speak-ing 

 4   4   6    6   7    7  -7  -7   7
 8   8   10  10   11  11  -11 -11 11
Peo-ple hear-ing with-out lis-ten-ing 

 4   4   -7  -7   -7    -8
 8   8  -11  -11 -11    -12
Peo-ple writ-ing songs that  

 8   8  -8  -7   7
 12  12 -12-11  11
Voic-es nev-er share 

 7  -7  7    6
11 -11 11   10
And no one dared 

 4   4    4    7   -4  4   -3
 8   8    8   11   -8  8   -7
Dis-turb the sound of sil-ence 

  -3      -3  4    4  6   6   -5
  -7      -7  8    8  10 10   -9
"Fools", said I, "You do not know 

 3   3    -4 -4 -5  -5    4
 7   7    -8 -8 -9  -9    8
Sil-ence like a can-cer grows 

 4   4    6    6   7   7    -7    7
 8   8   10    10 11  11    -11  11
Hear my words that I might teach you 

 4   4   6    6   7   7     -7   7
 8   8   10   10 11  11    -11  11
Take my arms that I might reach you" 

 4  4    -7    -8   8   8   -8   -7    7
 8  8   -11    -12 12  12  -12   -11   11
But my words, like sil-ent rain-drops fell 

-4   4   4  4   4    7   -5  6   -3
-8   8   8  8   8   11   -9 10   -7
And ech-oed in the wells of sil-ence 

-3  -3   4   4    6    6   -5
-7  -7   8   8   10   10   -9
And the peo-ple bowed and prayed 

3   3  -4 -4 -5   -5   4
7   7  -8 -8 -9   -9   8
To the ne-on god they made 

 4   4   6      6     7   7   -7   7
 8   8   10    10    11  11  -11  11
And the sign flashed out its warn-ing 

4   4    6    6   7   7   -7   7
8   8   10    10  11 11  -11  11
In the words that it was form-ing 

 4   4   6    7
 8   8   10   11
And the sign said,  

  7   -7   -7 -7   -7   -7
 11   -11 -11 -11  -11  -11
"The words of the proph-ets  

-8   8    8  8   8  -8  -7   7
-12  12  12  12 12  -12 -11  11
are writ-ten on the sub-way walls 

 7  -7 -7  7     6
11  -11-11 11   10
And ten-e-ment halls"

-8   8     8   8   8    11   -8  8   -7
And whis-pered in the sounds of sil-ence
