One More Soul to the Call is a song from Silent Hill: Homecoming and is track 1 in the Homecoming soundtrack. It was composed by Akira Yamaoka with vocals by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. The song plays with accompanying cutscenes when the main menu is left idle for a few moments.
The song is very symbolic of the events that have occurred in Shepherd's Glen and through the duration of the game. "The call" is usually referred to as going into the army (not unlike Alex Shepherd), but here, it specifically mentions four calls, most likely of Scarlet Fitch, Joey Bartlett, Joshua Shepherd, and Nora Holloway, hence the "four calls" that have been answered to the god of Shepherd's Glen (the four family sacrifices).
Lyrics[]
Enough with light
Tell me one more time
My blood, your line
Is this you inside?
Death to the living
The flame has no living heart
In the order of life, they know you there
As you saw it, your plan, a real shot in the dark,
Came a little too late, is over
Calling the children
Conception and dying
Silent, but screaming
Damage done to the flesh, what they say in the name of the
Damage done to the heart is the start of the end
Damage done to my soul, I know, it goes with my
Damage done to my life, cursing loud at the chaos
You're here, you're gone
It's not fair, I'm lost
Your God, your fear
Was it worth the price?
Pray for the children you lost along the way
Still remember the names, and faces
Cold, and abandoned
They cry, their fate put in your hands
When it's over, they come to haunt you
Wasted confusion
Deadly illusion
Nightmare intrusion
One more soul to the call, for all, in silence comes
Two more souls to the call, for all, and in time
Three more souls to the call, they fall, unknowing that
Four more souls to the call won't be all, and you know it
Sacrifice, wasted knife
Destiny redefined
Someone chooses you
Lucky one, close your eyes
Your family knows you're here
Calling the children
Conception and dying
Silent, but screaming
Damage done to the flesh, what they say in the name of the
Damage done to the heart is the start of the end
Damage done to my soul, I know, it goes with my
Damage done to my life, cursing loud at the chaos
One more soul to the call, for all, in silence comes
Two more souls to the call, for all, and in time
Three more souls to the call, they fall, unknowing that
Four more souls to the call won't be all, and you know it
