Hitori (ひとり), or "Alone" in Japanese, is the main image song for the Japanese edition of Drakengard 2. It plays during Caim and Angelus's death cinematic, Nowe and Legna's duel, and the ending credits.
The song and lyrics were specially composed under the sound producer's supervision. According to early news reports about the song, the lyrics reflect the thoughts of a certain lover. Within the context of the story, the lover is revealed to be Caim and his thoughts for Angelus.
The English port replaces this song for Growing Wings likely due to copyright issues.

Lyrics[]
English Translation[]
- Where did
- our shadows
- on the pavement go
- in this city dyed red?
- Did the season
- quietly pass by?
- I'm the only one
- left behind…
- I could be honest
- and show my weaknesses to you
- something that I can't even
- do to myself
- It was
- clumsy love
- If I could go back
- to when we were together again
- Without any hesitation
- I would embrace you
- and never let go
- When the nights are pitch black
- I curl my knees close
- and remember
- the days you were with me
- I must have been too childish
- to see before
- the meaning of your name
- and love
- My heart is filled with every moment
- of that time
- replaying over and over again
- Even the memories
- silently
- melt away
- If I could go back
- to that night right away
- I would rush towards your departing back
- and embrace you
- to stop you from leaving…
- It's selfish
- and I'm fully aware of that
- It doesn't have to be right now
- I'll be waiting here alone
- I'll survive by grasping
- my memories of you close to me
- It's pathetic
- but even now
- I can't forget about you
- If I could go back
- to when we were together again
- Without any hesitation
- I would embrace you
- and never let go
