And the vision

Still remains
Within the sound of silence

When my eyes (4)________ stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People (5)______________ songs that voices never share...
And no one dare
Disturb the (6)__________ of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the (8)________ god they made.
And the (9)________ flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs (10)__________ The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whisper'd in the sound of silence.
