And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more? People talking without speaking. People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared disturb the sound... of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know, silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you! Take my arms 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 neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning, in the words 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
