王晰: Hello darkness my old friend
王晰: I've come to talk with you again
鞠红川: Because a vision softly creeping
鞠红川: Left its seeds while I was sleeping
李琦: And the vision that was planted in my brain
李琦: Still remains
合: Within the sound of silence
王晰: In restless dreams I walk alone
王晰: Narrow streets of cobble stone
王晰: Neath the halo of a street lamp
王晰: I turned my collar to the cold and damp
合: When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light
合: That split the night
王晰: And touched the sound of silence
李琦: And in the naked night I saw
李琦: Ten thousand people maybe more
李琦: People talking without how speaking
李琦: People hearing without how listening
李琦: People writing songs that voices never share
李琦: And no one dare
李琦: Disturb the sound of silence
鞠红川: Fool said I you do not know
鞠红川: Silence like a cancer grows
李琦/鞠红川: Hear my words that I might teach you
李琦/鞠红川: Take my arms that I might reach you
合: But my words like silent rain- drops fell
李琦: And echoed
合: In the wells of silence
合: And the people bow and prayed
合: To the neon god they made
李琦: And the sign flash out its warning
李琦/鞠红川: In the words that it was forming
李琦/鞠红川: And the sign said the words of the prophers
李琦/鞠红川: Are written the subway walls and tenement halls
李琦/鞠红川: And whispered in the sounds of silence
合: Hello darkness my old friend
