(Verse 1)
The neon lights are flickering, a sickly, dying glow.
This city's just a carcass, a place I used to know.
The sirens scream a memory, a symphony of dread.
The ghosts of Umbrella's failure are dancing with the dead.
The weight of every trigger pull, the echoes in the rain.
A promise that I made myself, I'd never walk this lane.
But fate's a twisted bastard, with a cruel and wicked plan.
And now I'm back to finish what I started, man to man.
(Pre-Chorus)
The shadows writhe and twist, the air is thick with fear.
The past is clawing at the present, whispering in my ear.
No turning back, the mission's clear, the stakes are high.
Gotta hold the line, or watch another innocent die.
(Chorus)
This is the ghost of Raccoon City!
The sins of yesterday are hunting me!
I'm fighting for a future, for a chance to break the chain!
To save the girl and give this world a brand new name!
The bullets fly, the monsters cry, the city's on its knees!
I'm taking back the future from this swarm of killer bees!
(Verse 2)
The rusted metal groans beneath my tired, worn-out boots.
Each corner holds a nightmare, each alley hides the truth.
I see her face in every shadow, every shattered window pane.
A ghost of what was taken from me, a wound that still remains.
They said it was contained, they said the threat was gone.
But evil never sleeps, it just waits for the dawn.
And now this parasite, this plague, has found a brand new host.
And I'm the only bastard here who can get through this post.
(Pre-Chorus)
The shadows writhe and twist, the air is thick with fear.
The past is clawing at the present, whispering in my ear.
No turning back, the mission's clear, the stakes are high.
Gotta hold the line, or watch another innocent die.
(Chorus)
This is the ghost of Raccoon City!
The sins of yesterday are hunting me!
I'm fighting for a future, for a chance to break the chain!
To save the girl and give this world a brand new name!
The bullets fly, the monsters cry, the city's on its knees!
I'm taking back the future from this swarm of killer bees!
(Bridge / Electronic Breakdown)
*[Sound of static, a distorted heartbeat, distant screams]*
A final stand. The endgame. No more running. No more fear.
For Grace. For all of us. The end is here.
*[Sound of a heavy door slamming shut, a weapon being cocked]*
(Verse 3)
The final door is open, the beast awaits inside.
No more regrets, no place left now for me to hide.
I see her in my scope, a beacon in the night.
A fragile little flower in a garden full of blight.
One last shot. One final breath. A prayer into the storm.
To shield her from the darkness, to keep her safe and warm.
This city falls to ashes, but from the flames we rise.
Wiping the tears from my eyes.
(Pre-Chorus)
The shadows are gone. The silence is here.
I did what I came here for, conquered my deepest fear.
No turning back. The mission's done. The price was high.
I gave her back her future, I watched another innocent die... so she could fly.
(Chorus)
This is the ghost of Raccoon City!
The sins of yesterday are hunting me!
I fought for a future, I took my chance to break the chain!
I saved the girl and gave this world a brand new name!
The bullets flew, the monster died, but at what cost, you see?
I gave up part of myself for humanity's last plea!
(Outro)
*[Music fades to a slow, melancholic synth line and a single, clean guitar chord]*
Raccoon City...
Just a ghost now...
But some ghosts...
Never really leave you...
