The Sound of Silence

In the silence of my sleep...In the silence of my dreams In the silence of my thoughts... in the silence are my screams The Sound of Silence Hello darkness my old friend I’ve come to talk with you again Because dark shadows keep creeping in Waking dreams sleeping within And the visions planted deep within my brain Drive me insane Splitting the sound of silence In my dreams I walk alone Among bodies laying prone Eyes wide open, but they can’t see This nightmare playing out in me And I feel like a prisoner, chained and bound No one around Only the sound of silence Fifty years have now gone by But I keep asking myself why So many died and never made it home They left us living here all alone With thoughts of that day they gave their all They heard the call Of silence Where do we go now from here The sound of silence loud with fear Though fear was conquered many years ago It returns from somewhere deep below Rising from the ghosts of a shattered youth Seeking truth Searching the sound of silence Look now deeply in his eyes can you hear the battle cries Hidden somewhere past that dark, dark stare Behind a wall built on despair young innocence is lost never to be found Held deep down...suffering the sound of silence
