911 추모식에 울려퍼진 '사운드 오브 사일런스'[sound of silence - paul simon]


Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping

left the 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 '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
Split the night and touched the sound of silence

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 no one dare
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 flached out it's 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 sounds of silence
