"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 sounds of silence"
I was recently reminded of Paul Simon’s great lyric by hearing Disturbed’s quite different version.
