Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence Lyrics
This version of Simon and Garfunkel's classic topped the US Hard Rock Digital and Mainstream Rock charts and went to number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Disturbed's guitarist Dan Donegan said about this cover, "It's something that might shock people because we went down a new path altogether. We did what felt right and saw the vision through." Paul Simon wrote in an e-mail to David Draiman after seeing Disturbed performed the song on Conan show in 2016, "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I'd seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks."
The Sound Of Silence Lyrics In English
Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its 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
That 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
And 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 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 sound
Of silence"
