Sound of Silence

I was watching the Watchmen today, I got pretty emotional when they play 'Sound of Silence' in one of scene about a funeral. I've always like this song , its poetic lyrics, its soft but penetrating vocals, etc. but when I heard the song today automatically it connects me to the death of MJ. sad.
RIP MJ, God bless.

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 nightAnd touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I sawTen thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dareed 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 whisperd in the sounds of silence.
