Показать описание

Please support the official OST. From Supergiant Games' Pyre. This track wasn't on the OST, so I wanted to share it. Composed by Darren Korb.

It sounds like this was meant to be a song for the Rites restarting? Maybe for a scrapped NG+ type deal

"The fires are lit, the exiles lay their claim / some shall prevail, some perish in the flame"
That's more world-building and scene-setting in two lines than other people manage in their entire game. Also gives me goosebumps every time. Can't fathom why it is absent from the final game.

Lyrics:

We come to a time, when once an age
The Eight Scribes gather before us
The stars have aligned that the lucky few
Might rise from the torment of solus

The Rites begin anew
The mercy of our Scribes...

The fires are lit, the exiles lay their claim
Some shall prevail, some perish in the flame
By full moonlight, may we revoke our shame
For Soliam Murr, the final of his name

Who shall rise again?

The final price to leave this cursed plain
Who shall ascend? Whose failure shall remain?
By morning rise, who shall be free again?

Who shall rise again?

Is it our doom to be aimless?
Favor is for the true Scribe-blessed
Lighten your spirit's load, confess
Only the purest heart repents
Repent!

Our patrons watch, as righteous fires burn
To seek the mercy of the nobles spurned
To fly this prison, never to return

Never to return...

Ashley Barret definitely sounds like a new character in this, which I like. but it does feel too... threatening? The official one is much more sad, since win or lose, theres going to be some sorrow. Also it kinda sounds like the loser dies in this?

Maybe this was a part of the beta where there wasn't Tariq yet or they just had Celeste singing for the Liberation Rites

The beginning makes it sound like a catholic hymm

I kinda can imagine this being sun by Mae if none of the Nightwings made it out, as they become the Scribes of the New Age. The Nightwings literally followed the footsteps of the Scribes of old. The order of assembly, the celestial landmarks the Stars have led them to during their first ascension upon the Mount Alodiel. It all checks out almost to the letter of the Book of Rites. And ultimately, they would've given up their freedom, so others may yet have theirs (if they wouldn't make it out from the Downside as I presumed).

Mae and the Reader would've been the new Heralds - they walked with them, and witnessed them.

WOW, That INTRO! I wish they’d kept that part for the first Rite, at least...?

I get the impression that the tone of this game shifted from: "Revere the rights and feel shame for your transgressions against the Commonwealth" to "Screw the Commonwealth! Let's get as many people as we can back up there to burn the place to the ground" ha ha.

OMG! That is epic! Thanks!

Its like...the sum of almost every other iteration of the song, with different elements from different triumvirate's themes.

This version of song is dark, but beautiful ^^
Also, somehow it reminds me of Sandra and Beyonders. Am I alone here?
And yeah, I'm probably late.
Also also, thanks for finding and posting this ^^

This version has way less of the holy/ritualistic hymn vibes that the final version has, it's noticeably more energetic, it sounds mroe like a typical boss theme and I can see why they moved away from it to have the song focus mroe on both the tension and the player's semi-tragedy at the fact you are literally playing towards mechanical permadeath, even if it is a good thing in the narrative.
