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 deared
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 signs said, The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.
Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.
And I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
Breath deep
The gathering gloom
Watch lights fade
From every room
Bedsitter people
Look back and lament
Another day's useless
Energy spent
Impassioned lovers
Wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love
And has none
New mother picks up
And suckles her son
Senior citizens
Wish they were young
Cold hearted orb
That rules the night
Removes the colours
From our sight
Red is gray and
Yellow white
But we decide
Which is right
And
Which is an Illusion
If you were here
I'd whisper sweet nothings in your ear
And appeal to all your fears
If you were mine *If you were only mine*
I'd bring you so much further down
And twist your mind until the end of time
You will never realize
What darkness lies inside
Inside my mind
If you are down
I will come to chain you to the ground
And penetrate your mind.
If you are lost *if only you are lost*
I'll be there to break your trust
And ravage all your lust for life, my love
You will never realize
What darkness lies inside
Inside my mind.
You will never realize
What darkness lies inside
Inside my mind.
You will never realize
What darkness lies inside
Inside my mind.
We both lie silently still
in the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
I listen to our favorite song
playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could let you know somehow
I guess
Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
but the scar, that scar will remain
I know I could saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways
and now I hear you found somebody new
and that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
I guess
You need coolin', baby, I'm not foolin'
I'm gonna send ya back to schoolin'
Way down inside, a-honey, you need it
I'm gonna give you my love

Show me the way to your heart
I am searching
But i'm drifting apart
Everything`s gone, far away
Here we're standing now
With no words left to say
Gave you power
Fell on the floor
Silence, never thought you hurt so bad
In darkest hours
Slept at your door
Wishing all would be just like before
Let me find my piece of heaven
Let me find my way back home
I want this love to last forever
And back together,rise once again
From the ashes to the sky
Has someone taken my place
Am i falling
Was it our last embrace
Now you're asking me for some more time
I am trying to survive
Victim of my desire
I keep on running
I'm up all night
Times , i never thought they hurt so bad
In darkest hours
Stand by your door
Wishing all would be just like before
GOTTHARD frontman STEVE LEE has been killed in a roadside crash in Nevada. He was 47.
There are things that should be easy to say
When you know you love someone
While waiting for the moment to come
Another day has gone
The stupid fears I keep inside
That only heaven knows
They scare me every time I have to
Face those simple words
And then goodbyes are round the corner
And then goodbyes don’t last one day
So I’m scared the time is running out
And I see you walk away
There are goodbyes that no one cares about
N’ others so hard to face
So I’m trying to sing this song for you
For the words I need to say…
I learned my lesson once
I thought I learned my lesson twice
And I know how bad it feels inside
When I can’t make up my mind
Senseless words and sleepless nights
And my life’s just falling apart
Oh tell me Lord why’s it take so long
To let my heart speak out
Cuz then goodbyes are round the corner
And then goodbyes don’t last one day
So I’m scared the time is running out
And I’ll see you fade away
There are goodbyes that no one cares about
And others so hard to face
So I’m trying to sing this song to you
‘Cause it’s time for me to say
I love you
I sold my soul
Just so I could feel paid
I broke my heart
So I couldn't feel pain
I lost my faith
'Coz I can't justify the wait
I've got no hope
That's only for losers and fakes
I'm nothing but user
And none abuser
You don't wanna know what's on my mind
I know I'm just a fool
but I'm not foolin',
I'm not afraid of make fool out of my self
Fuck your money
Fuck your fame
Fuck my life
I'll walk away
Fuck our love
Fuck I'm sorry for anything i've ever done
You can’t save me
You better keep yourself to someone else
Fading, I’m just fallin' into my condition
Faded, you better put your time in somethin’ else
Save me, but don’t worry about it now
Better save your-fucking-self
I lost my mind
Just so I could escape
I still got time
But I know, is too late
I still got friends
To tell me I'm ok
I still alive
But I keep on testing fate
I'm nothing but user
And none abuser
You don't wanna know what's on my mind
I'm nothing but a fool
but I'm not foolin'
I'm not afraid of make fool out of my self
Fuck your money
Fuck your fame
Fuck my life
I'll walk away
Fuck our love
Fuck I'm sorry for anything i've ever done
You can't save me
You better keep your self to someone else
Faded
I'm just fallin' into my condition
Failed, you better put you time in something else
Save me, but don't worry about it now, you better save
your-fucking-self
Try just a little, understand what I'm telling you
I'm not what you think
Start it off
Do the right thing
Life got in the way
You don't know what to say
I'm not asking why
You can’t save me
You better give yourself to someone else
Fading, I’m just fallin’ into my condition
Faded, you better put your time in somethin’ else
Save me, but don’t worry about it now
Better save your fuckin’ self
Δεν έχεις που να καταφύγεις παρά μονάχα σε ένα ίσκιωμα.
Σε ένα μικρό πανί απλώνεσαι μα δεν χωράς καθώς τεντώνεις το κορμί σου.
Κατρακυλάς βαθύ χαντάκι και παραμένεις ένας άστεγος ζητώντας να αγαπήσω τον χαμό σου.
