Noise and fury

(Verse 1)

Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to shout at you again

'Cause a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains

The noise and fury

(Chorus)

Fools, I screamed, you cannot hear!

Silence like a spreading fear!

Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you

But my words like silent raindrops fell, into the wells of noise and fury

(Verse 2)

In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone

'Neath the halo of a streetlamp, I turned my collar to the damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the noise and fury

(Chorus)

Fools, I screamed, you cannot hear!

Silence like a spreading fear!

Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you

But my words like silent raindrops fell, into the wells of noise and fury

(Bridge)

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 sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls

And whispered in the noise and fury

(Chorus)

Fools, I screamed, you cannot hear!

Silence like a spreading fear!

Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you

But my words like silent raindrops fell, into the wells of noise and fury

(Outro)

Oh, the noise and fury! Can you hear it now?

Still crashing down!

Yeah! The noise and fury
