Cradle of Forest

Cradle of Forest is a song from Silent Hill 4: The Room. The song is track 11 of the game's soundtrack and was composed by Akira Yamaoka with lyrics written by Hiroyuki Owaku and Joe Romersa, who also sings. There are also some backing vocals from Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. Cradle of Forest plays during the game's credits.

This song could be a reference to the Wish House Orphanage, as it is located inside the Forest World, and a reference to the children admitted there.

Lyrics
 There deep Deep in the forest night Children dance the waltz They laugh Whispering hand in hand Just like children like to do

Their eyes What are they looking for? White dress flutters the beat Their song starting to make some sense Only if you're listening

Dance Dance like butterflies Shadows appear right before my eyes Sounds echo the absurd Hard to explain something that I heard

Now hear the forest talking Insects and birds Does the scent of soil and beast Breathe the life into the animal you hide? It's a great illusion one never knows When you think you're really alone Feel the eyes of someone looking in on you

Again See how the children play Red moon colors the trees Their feet Innocent rustling sounds Playful dreamlike fantasies

Dance Dance like butterflies Shadows appear right before my eyes Sounds echo the absurd Hard to explain something that I heard

Now hear the forest talking Insects and birds Does the scent of soil and beast Breathe the life into the animal you hide? It's a great illusion one never knows When you think you're really alone Feel the eyes of someone looking in on you

Now hear the forest talking Insects and birds Does the scent of soil and beast Breathe the life into the animal you hide? It's a great illusion one never knows When you think you're really alone Feel the eyes of someone looking in on you
