James Hymn (June Hymn Parody) by Ian Doherty

WARNING: Song contains major spoilers to the video game Silent Hill 2, and also some very upbeat singing about some very dark subject matter. Listen at your own risk.
A parody of the song "June Hymn" by the Decemberists. I don't really consider myself a parody writer by trade, but once I came up with the chorus, I couldn't not do the rest. Hopefully it's somewhat amusing and not just morbid.

LYRICS (again, SPOILERS):

Here's a letter Mary left, just see:
“Take me back to town, you promised me--
And I am waiting here for you
To come through.”
Thought that she was dead, but then I'd do
Whatever she would ask me to

Walking through these foggy streets
All the messed-up monsters that I meet,
They lead me to the Lakeview door,
And more
Sitting here in room 312, the floor
Feels colder than it was before

[Chorus:]
And Maria's dead
Pyramid Head
Stabbed her in the gut
And Angela's dad
Hurt her so bad
She dropped a TV on his butt
And James has come to Silent Hill

Shooting Eddie full of lead
Reminded me of Mary in her bed
And how I smothered my own wife
…I killed my wife
Now I've got some psycho with a knife
Chasing me down to end my life

[Chorus:]
And Maria's dead
Pyramid Head
Stabbed her in the gut
And Angela's dad
Hurt her so bad
She dropped a TV on his butt
And James has come to Silent Hill

And years from now
At least, if I Leave with Laura and live
Will I have the strength to lift my hands and give
The double-deuce to Silent Hill?

(Instrumental)

[Chorus:]
And Maria's dead
Pyramid Head
Stabbed her in the gut
And Angela's dad
Hurt her so bad
She dropped a TV on his butt
And James has come to Silent Hill

And James has come to Silent Hill
