我虔诚的祷告，只为那一场死亡：Akira Yamaoka - Room

　　《寂静岭》作为一款在恐怖悬疑的氛围营造上登峰造极的单机游戏，每一个系列都会使我沉溺其中。游戏以描绘人类内心黑暗面的冲突见长，压抑、阴暗、晦涩而又富有哲理，剧情则是以类似电影的手法展开，不同的选择将会产生不同的结局。

　　就一款恐怖类游戏而言，《寂静岭》的音乐也始终保持了压抑、灰暗的基调。这首插曲选自《寂静岭4》，犹如在歌唱死亡，黑色阴郁的安魂曲，在寂寥的房间里回旋，奏响在主角的母亲——辛西娅死亡之时。

　　第一次听到《Room of angel》的时候确实令我非常震撼，竟然有人能够将死亡演绎得如唱诗般虔诚与安详。低沉的鼓点声不断地在心灵的最深处回荡，庄严肃穆的气氛如同站在教堂聆听圣咏。仿佛来自遥远天际的女声响起，虽然是如梦呓般的低吟，但却那么彻骨的冷冽，压抑着绝望。无论如何，这都是一首歌颂死亡的安魂曲，如果说我们常用美好来形容对音乐的感受，那么，这首曲子带给人的，则是无边无际的颤栗与惊悚。

You lie, silent there before me
Your tears, they mean nothing to me
The wind, howling at the window
The love you never gave, I give to you
really don’t deserve it
but now, there’s nothing you can do
So sleep in your only memory
And weep, my dearest mother

Here’s a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye
It was always you that I despised
I don’t feel enough for you to cry, oh my
Here’s a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye
goodbye…

So insignificant
Sleeping dormant deep inside of me
Are you hiding away, lost
Under the sewers
Maybe flying high
In the clouds
Perhaps you’re happy without me
So many seeds have been sown on the field
And who could sprout up so blessedly
if I had died
I would have never
felt sad at all
You will not hear me say
I’m sorry
Where is the light
Wonder if it’s weeping somewhere

Here’s a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye
It was always you that I despised
I don’t feel enough for you to cry, oh my
Here’s a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye
goodbye…
