After school, I was walking in the city, listening a beautiful song and smoking a cigarette. After I heard Ray's story, I needed one.
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
It was a very beautiful song by the metalband, Disturbed. It always had the possibility to make me cry.
While I was walking through the city I recognized someone. He was wearing black jeans and I white shirt.
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
I recognized the tattoos on his arms. A dragon tattoo on his left arm and a flower tattoo on his right arm.
When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
He was wearing a cap from Alexander Büttner.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
It was Damian.
People writing songs
That voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence
As soon as he saw me, he came in my direction.
"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
I would put my headphones of, but the song wasn't finished yet, so I hoped he would walk to me slowly.
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
And the words that it was forming
But he was already standing in front of me. I could see that he asked me to which song I was listening, when I reached my hands to put out my headphones.
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
I finally put them out and said: " The Sound Of Silence "
" By Disturbed? " his answer surprised me.
" Yes "
" Disturbed is such a great group " he said, smiling.
" Yes, it is! "
" Hey kid, how did it end up with Aiden? " he said.
Oh no, why did he had to remember me of Aiden. Who has been murdered.
" Uhm... I knocked him out " I didn't want to mention that the girl killed him.
