This was one of the first covers I ever made on my channel, so it's well overdue for a remake! I hope you like this revamped version, just in time for spooky season.

LYRICS:
You’re lost in a forest of mourning
Higurashi cry for you

The day was fine, the sun rose high to light the trees
You stood outside breathing in the cool breeze
It seemed like everything would be alright
But now we’re frozen in time

One way that cannot return twice
A lost child looks for a bright place

Make it seem like it won’t be that hard
We can change, it’s not too late to start
Will you take my hand?
I’ll lead you there…

Can you hear the howls and screams?
Is there someone beckoning?
Hand across your mouth
Tip-toe closer till you uncover the sound
Farewell, my dears
Be good ones and go to sleep now
Because those who disobey
I can promise that you'll pay

Midnight silhouettes of trees
Are they really what they seem?
Lit up by the moonlight
Along the path, you hear a lullaby
Cotton Drifting begins here today
The blazing fires will die away

You’re lost in a forest of mourning
Higurashi cry for you

The smallest sound can scare us almost half to death
We choke on all of the screams that we suppress
You closed your eyes, held your breath and held your tears
And raised the knife to your hair

One way that cannot return twice
A lost child looks for a bright place

There, can you see those deep crimson eyes?
Who will be demoned away here tonight?
Will you take my hand?
It's not so bad

Thought I saw a ghostly face
From a different time and place
Shadow on the shrine
Though I know that this child already died
Behind the mask, I wonder if she is smiling?
But her wings will hold her down
What is lost will not be found

In the mirror, she’s afraid
Even her reflection fades
Infinite dimensions
Existence is beyond comprehension
Cotton Drifting begins here today
The blazing fires will die away

You’re lost in a forest of mourning
Higurashi cry for you

Can you hear the howls and screams?
Is there someone beckoning?
Hand across your mouth
Tip-toe closer till you uncover the sound
Farewell, my dears
Be good ones and go to sleep now
Because those who disobey
I can promise that you'll pay

Midnight silhouettes of trees
Are they really what they seem?
Lit up by the moonlight
Along the path, you hear a lullaby
Cotton Drifting begins here today
The blazing fires will die away

You’re lost in a forest of mourning
Higurashi cry for you
