Hello my son, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was dying And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains Within the sound of silence
In restless streams I have walked alone Narrow streets of cobble stone Beneath the halo of London's street lamp I turn my face to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by COVID-19's might That split the night And touched the sound of silence
And in horrified visions I saw Ten-thousand people maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People in dormitories that voices never share And no one dares disturb the sound of silence Of silence Of silence Of silence
"Fools, " said I, "You do not know Silence's 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 rain-drops fell And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed To the dead LKY they still hope And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said "I will rise up from my grave!" Written everywhere on the walls And in all the school halls And whispered in the sound of silence"
"I have cometh to relieve you Of stupidity that cannot cure By the sound of silence Of deaths Of sufferings Of silence ..........

ReplyDeleteCircuit Breaker: The Sound Of Silence
ReplyDeleteHello my son, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was dying
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless streams I have walked alone
Narrow streets of cobble stone
Beneath the halo of London's street lamp
I turn my face to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by COVID-19's might
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in horrified visions I saw
Ten-thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People in dormitories that voices never share
And no one dares disturb the sound of silence
Of silence
Of silence
Of silence
"Fools, " said I, "You do not know
Silence's 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 rain-drops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the dead LKY they still hope
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said
"I will rise up from my grave!"
Written everywhere on the walls
And in all the school halls
And whispered in the sound of silence"
"I have cometh to relieve you
Of stupidity that cannot cure
By the sound of silence
Of deaths
Of sufferings
Of silence ..........
