SILENT HILL 2 - IN THE FOG

[Intro — distant piano, rain, radio static] I got a letter from a ghost today, Written in a hand I couldn’t forget. She said, “Come find me where we used to stay…” But the dead don’t write letters. …do they? [Verse 1] Empty streets beneath my feet, Ash like snow upon the ground. Every window watches me, Every hallway breathes a sound. I came here looking for your face, But something followed through the rain. Every step toward our old place Pulls me deeper into pain. [Pre-Chorus] The radio screams. Something moves. I raise the light— But what’s the use? Because every monster that I see Feels like something born from me. [Chorus — heavy guitars enter] IN THE FOG! I hear you calling my name! IN THE DARK! I’m remembering the pain! I came searching for forgiveness, But this town remembers everything. If you’re waiting somewhere for me, Tell me why I cannot breathe. Silent streets… Silent God… Silent truth beneath the fog. [Verse 2 — darker] Hospital lights flicker overhead. Rust crawls underneath the door. Something drags itself ahead, And I don’t recognize myself anymore. A blade scrapes somewhere down the hall. Heavy footsteps shake the floor. I run— But something in my soul Knows what he’s coming for. [Whispered Break] You wanted punishment. No… You wanted to suffer. Stop… You already know the truth. STOP! [Breakdown — industrial percussion / distorted guitars] LOCK THE DOOR! KILL THE LIGHT! HE’S STILL COMING! RUN! RUN! RUN! But where do you run when the thing hunting you lives inside your head? [Instrumental — distorted guitar dissolves into lonely piano] [Verse 3 — vulnerable, almost whispered] There was a time I held your hand. There was a time you said my name. There was a time before this town turned every memory into shame. I told myself I came for love. I told myself you called me here. But maybe I came to Silent Hill because the truth was what I feared. [Final Chorus — huge, emotional] IN THE FOG! Now I finally see your face! IN THE DARK! There’s nowhere left to escape! Every monster. Every nightmare. Every scream behind these walls— They weren’t keeping me from finding you. They were leading me here all along. [Outro — instruments gradually disappear] So if I reach that quiet lake, And morning never finds me… Know that somewhere beneath the fog, I finally remembered everything. [long silence] [female whisper] “James…” [radio static] [single piano note] end
