Hometown

Hometown is the ending theme song of Silent Hill 3, played during the credits after the ending (excluding the bonus UFO Ending) and is track 24 in the Silent Hill 3 soundtrack. The song was composed by Akira Yamaoka, with lyrics written and sung by Joe Romersa. It also plays in the Normal ending of Silent Hill: The Arcade.

Lyrics
 He spoke of tortured souls So outrageous the toll You can lose all you have He refused to give in to the town that takes all

Survive, you must have the will This movie doesn't end the way we want all the time Then he shouts at the moon She's gone, and fear has overcome He was walking the mile, he was walking alone

So outrageous the toll You can lose all you have He refused to give in to the town that takes all

Survive, you must have the will This movie doesn't end the way we want all the time Then he shouts at the moon She's gone, and fear has overcome He was walking the mile, he was walking alone

Four and twenty dead-birds, they bleed upon the nest There was no time for reason, they had no sign of a threat Now it's too late, too late for me This town will eventually take me Too late, too late for me This town will win

Through this fog they came along Dark creatures singing a terrible song The rest of the bar laughed at him Only I felt my hope grow dim They found him dead the very next day "No more stories from him," I heard them say We blamed bad luck for his fate Only I felt terror so great

She and he will know That someday all things will end That misty night That dismal moon The dead search for their kin While angels sing, in endless dark The dead seek out sin
