It's not a task for everyone to go and touch some well-known masterpieces that made history. Usually because one fears to wast it, ma the most because one fears to unleash the deadly ire of the people that don't ever intend to leave unpunished such a profanation.
Anyway now and then some fool decides to do such a fool act...luckily. In this case they're the Disturbed with their own revision of the very famous song "The sound of silence".
If they were looking for a way to catalyze the attention of the mass to them, well they succeded. For a while youTube talked about them and made them totalize milions of views. Deservedly in my opinion.
The Disturbed are more famous as a heavy metal band, thus is not so obvious to ear them sound ...soft like this. But they did well.
The song begins very low in order to end epically, with strength growing through all the length of the original song of Simon & Garfunkel (that let's face it true, nice, but right after 3 stanzas you start wondering about the expiring bills and the dog that needs to pee).
Here you can find both verified lyrics and chords of "The sound of silence" by Disturbed in its original key.

F#m2Intro:
E
Hello darkness, my old friend
F#m
I've come to talk with you again
DAF#m
because a vision softly creeping
DA
left its seeds while I was sleeping
F#mDD2DA
and the vision that was planted in my brain
F#mEF#m
still remains within the sound of silence
E
In restless dreams I walked alone
F#m
narrow streets of cobblestone
DA
'neath the halo of a street lamp
F#mDA
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
DD2DA
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
F#mE6AE6F#m
that split the night
EF#m
and touched the sound of silence
E
And in the naked light I saw
F#m
ten thousand people, maybe more
DA
people talking without speaking
DA
people hearing without listening
DD2DA
people writing songs that voices never share
F#mE6AE6F#m
and no one dare
EF#m
disturb the sound of silence
E
Fools, said I, you do not know
F#m
silence like a cancer grows
DA
hear my words that I might teach you
DA
take my arms that I might reach you
DD2DAF#m
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
E6AEF#m
and echoed in the wells of silence
E
And the people bowed and prayed
F#m
to the neon God they made
DA
And the sign flashed out it's warning
DA
And the words that it was forming
And the signs said,
DD2DA
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
F#mE6AE6F#m
And tenement halls
EF#m
And whispered in the sound of silence"
