AMI GAMI
1. HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FREND, I'VE COME TO TALK WITH YOU AGAIN
AMI FCFC
BECAUSE A VISION SOFTLY CREEPING,LEFT ITS SEEDS WHILE I WAS SLEEPING
FCAMI
AND THE VISION THAT WAS PLANTED IN MY BRAIN, STILL REMAINS
GAMI
WITHIN THE SOUND OF SILENCE
2. IN RESTLESS DREAMS I WALKED ALONE,DOWN THE STREETS OF COBBLE STONE
'NEATH THE HALO OF A STREET LAMP,I TURNED MY COLLAR TO THE COLD AND DAMP
WHEN MY EYES WERE STABBED BY THE FLASH OF A NEON LIGHT
THAT SPLIT THE NIGHT AND TOUCHED THE SOUND OF SILENCE
3. AND IN THE NAKED LIGHT I SAW,TEN THOUSAND PEPLE,MAYBE MORE
PEOPLE TALKING WITHOUT SPEAKING,PEOPLE HEARING WITHOUT LISTENING
PEOPLE WRITING SONGS THAT VOICES NEVER SHARED,NO ONE DARED(OPOVÁŽIL)
DISTURB THE SOUND OF SILENCE
4. "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 A SILENT RAIN DROPS FELL
AND ECHOED IN THE WELLS OF SILENCE
5. HOWEVER,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 TENAMENT HALLS" AND WHISPER-D IN THE SOUND OF SILENCE.
