When my Deyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon Alight
That splitF#m the nighAt
And touched the Esound of F#msilence.

People hearing withDout listeAning,
People writing Dsongs that voices never shAare
And no oF#mne dare
Disturb the Esound of F#msilence.

And F#mechoed
In the Ewells of F#msilenceVerse VF#m And the people bowed andE prayed
To the neon GodF#m they made.

In the words that it waDs forAming.

Are written on the subway Awalls
And tenementF#m halls.
And whispered in the Esounds of F#msilence.
