One of the most unsubtly creepy tracks you'll ever hear, mainly featuring weird, dissonant noises, including dispersed crying, violent drilling, & screams of people clearly being murdered violently juxtaposed with squeaks of baby toys. It's supported by a simple melody, a childlike lullaby (actually Brahms' Waltz in A-Flat Minor No. 15), bouncing playfully in spite of the unseen terrors happening in the background of the track. Now, it does verge on being laughably edgy, like its trying too hard to be scary, so much so that I could actually see someone laughing at how tryhard & cliche it is. Between the baby screams & especially the drilling though, it has to succeed on some level of getting under your skin just from natural thought process alone. Though I prefer my horror tracks to have more of a concrete & cerebral structure to them like the Silent Hill series, sometimes a chaotic sense of pure carnage is just what a scene needs to truly set the tone.
