The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision
That was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I (1)____________ my (2)____________ to the cold and damp
When my (3)________ were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the (4)__________ of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten (5)________________ people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share...
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence (6)________ a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I (7)__________ teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my (8)__________ like silent (9)__________________ fell,
And echoed in the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign (10)______________ out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said: The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whisper'd in the sound of silence.
