I do a Halloween themed piece every year. Typically I lean towards ambient and dark, something you'd hear in Silent Hill. This year i decided to take a different route. This is a dark, melodic piece that has lyrics, though I unfortunately don't have a mic (and I'm not a great singer anyways). That being said, the melody work is done, it's just missing vocals, which maybe I can add at a later date.

Anyways, this would be an opening to a Silent Hill game.

Memories lay shattered, crucified to the door
Infestation, dark thoughts manifest and take hold

You try to fight it
You can't deny it
Too deep inside it
To turn back now

In mangled voices they cry out in vain
Trapped in your illusions, there's nothing but pain
Can you hear them?
Whooo ooh
Hear their voices
And know that you are home

In desparation you flee towards the light
You can't deny this feeling, the thrill of the night
Can you feel it?
Whooo oh
Can you feel it?
The Darkness in your soul

(Whisper) Can you feel it?

Deep inside you hide all of your sins in plain sight
And deep within the monster smiles back in delight
Too weak to fight it
You can't deny it
Too deep inside it
To turn back now

In mangled voices they cry out in vain
Trapped in your illusions, there's nothing but pain
Can you hear them?
Whooo ooh
Hear their voices
And know that you are home

In desparation you cling to the light
You can't deny this feeling, the thrill of the night
Can you feel it?
Whooo oh
Can you feel it?
The Darkness in your soul

(Whisper) Can you feel it?
