Sounds Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again

And the vision that was planted in my brain

'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my (3)____________ to the cold and damp
When my eyes were (4)______________ by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People (5)______________ without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", (6)________ I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows."
"Hear my words that I (7)__________ teach you,
Take my (8)________ that I might reach you."
But my words, like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the (9)________ god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the (10)__________ that it was forming
And the sign said: "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whispered in the sounds of silence."
