Beethoven: 7th Symphony, 2nd Movement: Allegretto - ULTRAKILL Soundtrack | Lambis Vassiliadis 

"B-but the father light!-" "Face it brother. I have 200 million power in Rise of kingdoms."

"B-but the father light!-" "Face it brother. God is dead. You command nothing. The fire is gone."

"the fire is gone" my ass, this IS the fire

Even though the line "the fire is gone" is just a funny callback to one of the songs it still hits hard

"i know."

I remember playing this in orchestra class a year back. This song gives me chills still. Nothing funny like I usually post this time, just reverence for one of the greatest artists that ever existed, Beethoven.

Death stains the auditorium. The littered corpses of the once mighty council now strewn against its surfaces, their last gasps of life dripping down the dissident blade of Gabriel's sword. The last councilor, now backed up to a wall, scrambles for words between panicked breaths as death approaches with measured steps. "W-wait! Y-you can't do this! Our status forbids it! This is treason, heresy, murder! We are the supreme authority, our law commands you!" "You command nothing. Your words hold no power over me, or anyone else. Lest you truly believe you can talk my blade back into its sheath." "B-but the people are on our side! The citizens of heaven know that we are just!" "The masses only follow you out of fear and desperation. I will show them there is nothing to be afraid of, for there is no species nor origin, vested rank or holy status that will stop the sharp edge of a sword. We all bleed the same blood, and the cushions of your thrones have made you weak and impotent." "P-please, Gabriel, see reason! The council follows the will of the Father! You seek to go against our creato-" "Face it, brother. God is dead. The fire is gone. You're chasing phantoms." Gabriel's silhouette now towers over the councilor, his shadow cast upon a soon lifeless corpse. He raises his sword for the final cut as the crying mess on the floor stammers out his final feeble argument. "B-b-but the Father's light! Without me you cannot hope to reconnect with it! I-i-if you kill me, you'll be dead in a matter of hours!" ... "I know." A clean, silent cut glides through the councilor's neck, severing his spine with elegance and ease. His head falls onto the marble floor, the rest of his body following soon after. Bereft of status but brimming with purpose, Gabriel gave a final message to the angels amassed at the gates of the auditorium before leaving Heaven for the very last time. His arm outstretched, without a word, the people saw. In the silence the message rang out to the far ends of the cosmos.

Death stains the auditorium.

ULTRAKILL references aside, I think this is a beautiful piece. I’ve learned from Google that when composing this symphony in 1812, Beethoven had gone completely deaf. In a way, I like to think this piece is a musical eulogy for his ability to hear. The reason he was able to write music before and after this was because he wasn’t born deaf. It was a slow, gradual process that solidified in 1812. By the time he wrote his 9th symphony, he had been deaf for 12-ish years. He passed away just three years later. Source: the google searches “When did Beethoven compose his 7th symphony”, and “when did Beethoven go completely deaf”.

"Death Stains The Auditorium."

If Hakita gets voice actors for the final encounter, I'll shit myself.

“Face it, brother. God is dead. The fire is gone. You’re chasing phantoms”

one of my favorite scenes in gaming ever. it's so sharp, sudden, and powerful. when I first met Gabriel in 3-2, I didn't know what to expect from his return, but this was truly amazing. this song was a perfect fit to the scene

As someone called gabriel, i can say the game is pretty lore accurate, my sword did glide through the chancellor's neck with elegance and ease.

A silence cut slices the Council`s neck , severing his spine , his head falls onto the marble floor , his body afterwards. (i forgot what was here /\ )

This is the version that was arranged by Ernst Pauer - The best in my opinion!

As I rend the last of the council apart, my gaze falls to the lifeless masses i’ve left behind. There is no light in this world so I shall fashion a sun of crimson for all to bathe in its glorious light.

It’s weird to know that Ultrakill at it’s core, is a tragedy.

this literally gave me chills experiencing it for the first time in game

This is the song that really made me stop and realize that there’s no happy ending waiting at the end of hell. V1 and the machines, Gabriel and the angels, the souls of humanity, in heaven and hell, all doomed. God isn’t coming back to his creation and it is left slowly burning out.

daaaawg wha did Gabriel do 😭😭😭

I want to find sheet music for this version in particular because of that last so powerful part

i have no soul but i must sing

"I know."

Gabriel Knows, and yet he isn’t bothered by death. All Gabriel knew was that The Council was always too stupid to understand that the fire is gone, and god is dead. Heaven was freed from the corrupt and evil council.

Silence. Introspection. How many had he killed? Had he ever thought to count? How much cruelty did he embody… and to what end? How many did he condemn to hell and who did it benefit..? Two defeats at the hands of the machine had changed Gabriel. The world of the once supposed Will of God was now shattered and only he was left to put the pieces back together. They collected before the light of a dying fire that fresh fuel couldn’t sustain, this new light showing the truth to Gabriel: The pieces never fit together to begin with. The supposed Council of “the people” who boasted a God that wasn’t there. Gone. Vanished. The Council still chased after the light of God’s fire, their memory of its words and will grown twisted and warped, and the rest of the aimless masses of Heaven follow their footsteps. The angels still act in The Father’s name but His kingdom has changed. Now the fire was dying, sputtering out as the heat failed to gain purchase. Gabriel looked upon the embers with a perfect clarity. He drew his blade and held it in contrast to the dying light. In its reflection he saw a weapon reborn, no longer wielded by the will of another, but his own. He knew words alone would never sway the masses. He chose to do something drastic. ... Death stains the auditorium. The littered corpses of the once mighty council now strewn against its surfaces, their last gasps of life dripping down the dissident blade of Gabriel’s sword. The last councilor, now backed up to a wall, scrambles for words between panicked breaths as death approaches with measured steps. “W-wait! Y-you can’t do this! Out status forbids it! This is treason, heresy, murder! We are the supreme authority, our law commands you! ”You command nothing. Your words hold no power over me, or anyone else. Lest you truly believe you can talk my blade back into its sheath.” “B-but the people are on our side! The citizens of Heaven know that we are just!” “The masses only follow you out of fear and desperation. I will show them there is nothing to be afraid of, for there is no species nor origin, vested rank or holy status that will stop the sharp edge of a sword. We all bleed the same blood, and the cushions of your thrones have made you weak and impotent.” “P-please, Gabriel, see reason! The council follows the will of The Father! You seek to go against our creato-” “Face it, brother. God is Dead. The fire is gone. You’re chasing phantoms.” Gabriel’s silhouette now towers over the councilor, his shadow cast upon a soon lifeless corpse. He raises his sword for the final cut as the crying mess on the floor stammers out its final feeble argument. “B-b-but the Father’s light! Without me you cannot hope to reconnect with it!
