Because a (3)____________ softly creeping
Left its (4)__________ while I was sleeping
And the vision
That was (5)______________ in my brain

When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a (7)________ light

And in the (9)__________ (10)__________ I saw
Ten thousand people, (11)__________ more
People (12)______________ (13)______________ speaking

And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence (14)________ a cancer grows.

Take my (15)________ that I (16)__________ reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And (17)____________ in the wells of silence.

And the sign (20)______________ out its warning
In the (21)__________ that it was forming.
And the (22)__________ (23)__________ The words of the prophets
Are written on the (24)____________ walls
And tenement halls,
And whisper'd in the sound of silence.
